Zagreb Glavni kolodvor (
railway station in Zagreb, Croatia.[2] Located 1 km (0.62 mi) south of the city's main square,[1] it is the largest station in Croatia and the main hub of the Croatian Railways
network.
History
An 1890 act of the Royal Hungarian Government authorised the building of the main station and maintenance shop in Zagreb.
Reconstruction works were undertaken in 1986–87 (just before the 1987 Summer Universiade) and again in 2006.[6]
Train Disaster
On 30 August 1974, the station was the site of the deadliest train accident in Yugoslavia at the time, with 153 people dead. The incident occurred when a train from Belgrade headed for Dortmund derailed at the entrance of the station.[7][8]
