Since 1903, the company bought more than forty petrol-electric self-propelled rail cars, and thus for some years performed one of the most advanced passenger transports in the world.

[1] The Arad–Csanádi Vasút (Arad–Csanád Railway), licensed in 1881, built its Y-shaped network between Arad and Szeged in the short space of time from 5 November 1882 to 20 May 1883.

In 1886, both companies merged to form Aradi és Csanádi Egyesült Vasutak.

In 1889 the branch to Csermő was opened, and in 1889–1896, the line in Crişul Alb valley was prolonged to Brad.

The railmotors allowed quite a dense frequency of trains for local commuter traffic as well as for longer distances.
