hallo today two news videos very intersting one from my layout from my
collections of loco steam
in the line The Bohinj Railway or Transalpina is a steam-hauled railway which
connects Jesenice, Nova Gorica in Slovenia and Gorizia in Italy through the
Julian Alps. As a museum train it started its ride in 1986. It rides on a part
of a historical Transalpina Railway, which was inaugurated on July 19th 1906 in
order to complete the railway that linked Vienna and Central Europe with the
Adriatic regions of Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially with the strategic port
at Trieste. During the First World War, it carried the majority of Austrian
military supplies to the Isonzo Front.
The stunning views and distinctive features of the railway are the 6,339 metre-
long Bohinj Tunnel under 1,498 meter high Mount Kobla and the Solkan Bridge
with its 85 meter wide stone arch high above the Soča River. There are two
types of steam locomotives (25-025 and 33-037) manufactured in the beginning of
20th century still operating. They are dragging 6 old passenger wagons that are
renovated after original plans from Vienna Railway Museum. All technical
support and maintenance for museum trains is carried out by mechanists from
Railway Museum of Slovenia in Ljubljana. The ride includes conductors, with old
customs in old costumes, railway guards and friendly service personnel who take
care of the drinks and food on the way.
