Železničná spoločnosť Cargo Slovakia, a. s.

ZSSK CARGO uses six border crossing stations for both unit and mixed trains to Slovakia’s southern neighbours. The most important in the centre of southern Slovakia is the non-electrified Lenartovce station, which leads to the Bánrévé station on the Hungarian side. One of the "bardotka" locomotives of the Class 751 was caught departing Bánrévé station on its way to Slovakia.

We hope that you have had a beautiful holiday. And for 2025, we wish you to have at least as much happiness as many "twins" met at the beginning of December 2024 at the Plaveč station on the border with Poland.

Dear our friends, our train no. 2024, with the rich freight of experiences is slowly arriving at its final destination, from where it will immediately continue on, collecting new cargo along the way throughout the next year. We wish you a beautiful, happy and relaxing Christmas holiday! Thank you for all the favors you have given us throughout this year and we believe that you will keep it in the next ones as well!

When the grey winter weather takes over and the only colorful things around are Christmas lights, it's time to recharge with some summer energy. Summer vibes mean yellow sun, green nature - and undoubtedly also the yellow and green classics on Slovak rails, the Class 125.8 locomotives. As the only broad-gauge electric locomotives in the ZSSK CARGO fleet, they reliably pull the longest and heaviest freight trains in Slovakia. They have been heading with trains loaded with Ukrainian ore to steel plant in the east of Slovakia for more than half a century. However, the skilled teams from the Rolling Stock Maintenance and Repair Services at ZSSK CARGO take good care of them, so that they always look like brand new.

From spring to winter, from cement to automotive – the new Class 742.65 locomotives have become a regular sight on ZSSK CARGO trains within the past two years. They have earned their stripes by being reliable, cheaper and more ecological to operate, while providing a better working environment. After the end of deliveries of current ordered locomotives, we expect to have 30 of these diesel locomotives in our fleet.

Sixty and sensational. That’s how old already are our locomotives known as “bardotkas”, these days designated as Class 751 and 752. Over 300 of them were made for Czechoslovakia and the first locomotive left the ČKD production facility in November 1964. You can still find these legends in the ZSSK CARGO fleet – mostly operating in Horná Nitra and Gemer regions, as well as in the surroundings of Prešov city. So, happy birthday bardotkas, thank you for the decades of loyal service! Photo © Juraj Streber #zscargo #zscargosk #zsskcargo #zsskcargoslovakia #zsskc #transport #railfreight #railway 

Collecting and transporting shipments efficiently and environmentally - by rail, or how ZSSK CARGO leverages the single wagonload transport (SWL) system to create complete trains and shift thousands of tons of goods from roads to rail.

Borderless across borders! Our Class 131 locomotives often appear on trains heading across Poland or the Czech Republic. In the second case, they head to the cities of Třinec or Ostrava - either with raw materials for the steel industry, or with the Slovakia Shuttle mixed train between Žilina and Halle in Germany. At the border, the trains overcome the third significant climb on the route from the Ukrainian to the Czech border. After Slanské hills and Štrba Pass, it is the Jablunkovský pass, where modernization work is currently underway on the Slovak side. But even after it is completed, it will be necessary to overcome an ascent of up to 16 ‰, which will require twins not only at the head, but often also at the back of freight trains.

This year's colorful autumn variety and the variety ZSSK CARGO "twin" locomotives with iron ore trains heading from the Ukrainian border. While the twin-system Class 363 locomotives pull a load of ore near Krpeľany for transshipment in the port of Bratislava, the permanently connected twins of the Class 131 pass under Strečno castle with a load of ore to Ostrava. Although the transport of ore stopped after the shutdown of the furnaces in the Ostrava steelworks, the transports to Třinec and Bratislava from the East Slovak Transshipment Yards still mean significant volumes of transport for ZSSK CARGO.
