This document recorded by Puskel Péter and translated in English by Gabriel Roman explores the significant role of Boros Béni in the development of railways and water management in the Arad region and Central Europe during the 19th century. It details his pioneering work in constructing vicinal railways, which were simpler and cheaper than standard lines and significantly boosted the area's economic growth. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, Boros Béni became a key figure in Hungarian railway history, successfully advocating for and building extensive networks. The text also recounts the establishment, operation, and eventual dissolution of the Arad-Cenad United Railways, a company he led, highlighting its economic impact and the subsequent historical oversight of his contributions. Ultimately, the source advocates for a recognition of Boros Béni's legacy as a vital figure in Arad's industrial past. The Arad-Cenad United Railways (ACsEV) played a pivotal role in the development of regional railways across western Romania and Hungary. Founded during the Austro-Hungarian era, the company, under the guidance of engineer Béni Boros, left a lasting mark on Arad's industrial heritage. Known for its innovative railcar production by Weitzer wagon & engine works, the ACsEV helped modernize regional connectivity and stands as a testament to 19th-century railway engineering.
