   • 2013 April, “Strekk”, in Miskolc Blog‎^[1]:

     A bejegyzésben írt kis út neve strekk (nyilván a Strecke szóból), és nemcsak a köznyelvben, hanem hivatalos levelekben is így szerepelt.

     The small road mentioned in the post was called strekk (obviously from Strecke), and this form appeared not only in everyday speech, but also in official correspondence.

   • 1985, Pillich László, Városom évgyűrűi‎^[2], page 16:

     Jó évszázaddal ezelőtt még a mozdonyokból kipattanó szikrafelhőktől kellett félteni a strekk melletti gabonatáblákat.

     A good century ago, the grain fields next to the track had to be protected from the showers of sparks shooting out of the locomotives.

   • 1969, Bálint Tibor, “A Zokogó Majom”, in Erdélyi Magyar Adatbank‎^[3]:

     Fél hatkor már indulnia kellett, hogy átvágjon az Irisz telep hídján, a bőrgyár felé, s a Dermata közelében, a strekk alatti aluljárón a város irányába forduljon, újabb munkahelyére.

     By half past five he had to leave, to cross the Irisz district's bridge toward the tannery, and near the Dermata, turn toward the city through the underpass beneath the track, on his way to his next workplace.
