What do you know about Georgian Railways? Probably not much, but join me as we embark on a journey along the Transcaucasian Railway, navigating through steep mountain passes and traversing an experimental Soviet-era railway. It's going to be an interesting ride!

I think georgia deserves for a better railway soon, it is a beautiful country 😅

I agree, it's an amazing place and they are doing some works to make the railway great, but still a lot to fix!

Thumbnail is a bit misleading but overall nice video, I rode the same train two weeks ago and lucked out in getting one of the former night train coaches. Overall pleasantly surprised with GR, the travel experience was quite good, just the servics is too infrequent. Btw the original line over the Surami Pass will be closed soon, so fortunate that you rode it now.

Yes, some of the recent thumbnails have been a bit misleading, even if technically true. I installed an extension called DeArrow to autoreplace thumbnails personally. But overall the video is good.

Trains in the U. S. dumped onto the tracks until fisherman were showered under a railroad bridge in Florida in the 80's.

The thing with the VL10 is that they were made for freight trains, not passenger trains. I think they have no heaters for passenger cars, but if the cars are electrically heated, then perhaps this is no problem.
