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]

Public transport
Directly in front of the main railway station, there is a stop for Zagreb tram lines 2, 4, 6, 9 and 13. They are operated by the Zagreb Electric Tram (ZET). With lines 2 and 6 you can reach the Bus station, which is three stops away and from which many buses travel to larger and smaller cities in Croatia and neighboring countries.
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]
