Despite its name, this railway, abbreviated StEG, was entirely a private company. It was founded in 1854 primarily with French capital. In 1855, it bought the Northern State Railway and the Austrian Southeastern Railway from the Austrian state. By procuring the Vienna-Raab railway in 1855 and the Brünn-Rossitz in 1879, and building new lines, the StEG network had grown by 1890 to nearly 3000 km. The routes on Hungarian territory were transferred to the Hungarian State Railway in 1891 and in 1909 the rest of StEG was nationalised. Due to its various mining activities, the company was not liquidated from many years. These bonds were designed by the Italian-French painter and illustrator Hercole Catennacci (1816-1884).
