Description of the flag

HŽ (website) is the national railways company. It adopted a new symbol in the early 1990s, made of a circle with the company initials vaguely reminding railway tracks.
The company flag seems to be white with the blue symbol, but flags with other color combinations might also be seen, occasionally. A few years ago I noticed in the company newsletter and website the announcement of a competition for new symbols. However, now quite some time has passed on and no change has been made, so probably the competition did not yield anything of interest.

In 2006, Hrvatske željeznice (=Croatian Railways) reorganized into three new companies: HŽ Putnički promet (=HŽ Passenger Transport), HŽ Cargo and HŽ Infrastruktura, and as far as I've noticed, only HŽ Infrastruktura uses flags.

HŽ Infrastruktura Limited Liability Company manages 2,617 km of railway lines in the Republic of Croatia.

The flag is blue with the logo in white.

Old flags

The first versions of the HŽ Infrastruktura flags, the real one and the table flag, were white or blue with the HŽ letters repeated in the opposite colour.
