Railway Sharganskaya eight

Sarganska Osmica, Sarganska osmica, Sargan Eight Railway
Serbia, Mokra Gora
The Shargan Eight is a unique narrow-gauge railway that was designed to connect Belgrade with Sarajevo and Dubrovnik. The route was first put into service in 1925. The length of the railway line is 13.5 km, 22 tunnels and 5 bridges were built on the route. Since February 1974, traffic on the track has ceased due to the unprofitability of the road. However, in 1999, restoration work began, the section from Vitasi station to Mokra Gora station was repaired. Today, the railway is used for tourism purposes.

Of all the types of public transport, I only warmly relate to trains. A visit to the nostalgic railway "Sarganska osmica" ("Shargan Eight") was simply a must-see on a trip to Serbia. This narrow-gauge (only 75 cm) road was built in 1925 and connected Mokra Gora with the capital Belgrade. But already in 1974, the message was terminated due to banal unprofitability. And only in 1999, the road began to be gradually restored, but not as a transport facility, but as an entertainment for tourists. At the moment, a segment of about 13 kilometers between Mokra Gora and Sargan Vitasi stations is open daily for visiting, and on weekends there is a train to Visegrad (neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina).
