On 1 January 2002 the ZSR (Zeleznice Slovenskej Republiky, Slovakian State
Railways) were split up. The "new" ZSR is now only responsible for the
infrastructure, i.e. tracks and stations. Trains are
operated by the new company Zeleznicna Spolocnost, a. s., also called
Zeleznicna Spolocnost Slovakia and officially abbreviated ZSSK.

Please don't be confused by the fact that the
captions for the pictures, which are provided by the
various contributors to the European Railway Picture Gallery, sometimes
refer to rolling stock owned by ZSR (which is either historical, outdated
information or based on outdated inscriptions on the vehicles themselves)
or mistakenly abbreviate Zeleznicna Spolocnost, a. s., as "ZS".
