The development of the Protectorate Railways of Bohemia and Moravia in the year 1940 was marked by another significant increase in performance and corresponding improvement in financial results which contributed to the continued consolidation of the hospo-řářské situation of the company. In 1939, the integration of the Protectorate Railways into the transport economic tasks of the large German space was supported in a thrilling way in 1940 by the continued unification of the railway transport law and the involvement of the protectorate in the Reich's customs territory. In this year, the Protectorate Railways of Bohemia and Moravia also became a member of the Central European Railway Administrations Association; thus they returned after 20 years of absence to the natural circle of railway administrations, in which their síf was once involuntary and evolved. This continued integration enabled the Protectors' beams to fulfil the great tasks imposed on them by the war forced upon them by Reich. The railway lines in the Protectorate had a significant share in overcoming the required performances of the German troops in the east and west. Nevertheless, they could be supported by the internal economic life of transport so that the great war events did not interfere anywhere with its regular operation more than was inevitably necessary. It was allowed, in the last instance, by the fast-paced self-sacrificing deployment of the protectorates of railway services, which took over difficult tasks in close cooperation with the German Empire and other Reichské místovém places. In 1940 it remained favourable. In the transport of persons and vassals, mining increased to 805,783 million K against 540,678 million K in 1939 by 49,03o/o. The freight (speed goods and goods) was accepted 2.068,956 million K against 1.509,935 million K in 1939, i.e. 37.04% more. Other mining - which for the first time also accounted for compensation for DR performances increased by 47,15%/o from 132,570 million K for 1939 to 195.075 million C in 1940. The amount of the ex-right tax granted to the company in favour of the operating result, which in 1939 amounted to 217,499 million. K increased by approximately higher transport results by 44,09° to 313,390 million K. The total production of the operational account thus increased in 1940 to 3.383,205 million K from 2,400,682 million K in 1939, i.e. by 40.92%/ against previous year's results. Operating mining in the administrative year was mainly influenced by higher transport performances entrusted to Protectorate beams in both inland and transit transport.In addition, the increase in tariff rates and the abolition of certain existing tariff discounts contributed to the improvement of results. Total costs of the operating account, which include, in addition to the costs of operation of the Protectorate Railways, the cost of maintaining railway equipment and vehicles, the need for depreciation, as well as the flat-rate need for operating deficits, the interest and administrative costs of local railways operated by the Protectors' Dra-Hami were reported for 1940 by the amount of 3.580,096 million K against 2.77,481 million K in 1939. This increased costs compared to 1939 by 28,94%/. This increase consists essentially in increased operating performance, in addition to the new adjustment of the pension burden paid by the company and partly in higher prices of different railway transport materials. 19
