My mother was born in Secovska Polianka, which is not too far from where this was filmed. I have always wanted to see that beautiful area, and you have at least given me a preview of what I will see if I ever get to go there in person. I love hearing the jointed stick rail (very few passenger lines in the US still have it anymore).
Excellent video, thoroughly enjoyed it. Very useful for modellers and potential tourists - clearly "do not trespass" means something else in Slovakia!!
"Filmagen perfecta"? Por mérito de la naturaleza, porque quién filmó fijó la cámara al frente atrás de un vidrio susio y asi ignora las bellas paisajes laterales. No informó sobre puentes y túneles y, ni siquiera el nombre de las localidades por donde pasa. Muuuuy cómodo.
I bet you would not love the "comfort" of that crappy two axle motor car. Being a product of real socialism, it is awful. Noisy, slow, jerky. Basically it comes into mind when thinking about why not to travel by rail. Well. Because of that monstrosity. Rather a bus, trust me.
Thank you so much for posting this video-my grandparents were from Sumiac, and my father talked about how beautiful Slovakia is, (He went there in 1922 with his parents to visit relatives.) and how much it looks like our home area of Johnstown, PA.
Šumiac is a beautiful village very close to this train route. Situated just under one of the most famous mountains of Slovakia, called Kráľova hoľa. That part of my home country is really amazing. :) BTW, this train route, including the great viaduct, played the role of the Russian Ural mountains in the US blockbuster Peacemaker (G. Clooney, N. Kidman), just as Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, played the role of Austria´s capital Vienna, in the same movie. Just a few fun facts.
One of the most interesting parts of this track is Telgártska slučka. Here the train makes almost a full circle to gain altitude (it's close to 300 degrees) in a long left turn (radius of 400 m) half of it inside a tunnel - you can see the train entering this tunnel at 9:30 - there's a stop right there. In the video, this section is probably edited so the tunnel appears shorter than it really is (it is about 1.2 km long). After leaving the tunnel, the train passes through a viaduct over a valley next to the tunnel entrance (train passes this spot at the 11:05 mark). The height gain is 31 meters. Unfortunately this isn't visible from the train driver's view, but if you google for photos of Telgártska slučka, you'll find plenty of nice images. You can also search for Chramošský Viadukt which is next on the track - trains is passing through at 11:30 and a few folks, possibly eager to take photos, are running for life :) Overall this is a pretty popular track for train fans, even if the trains are a bit outdated and slow.
love the countryside..beautiful. I was questioning the reason for blowing a whistle before entering a tunnel? noticed that ppl, worldwide, gather near the track even not near the stations. The shortness of the trip. right at 1/2 hour...here in the midwestern USA would call a "puddle jumper" Thanks for posting...enjoyed the trip immensely . Bon Voyage!!!!
I would have thought that whistling before entering a tunnel is pretty obviously to warn anyone who may be on foot in the tunnel of the train's approach!
The video shows only the first part of the trip: the full journey made by these trains (from Červená Skala to Margecany, 93 km) takes 1 h. 42 on average. (See ŽSR, Table 173)
Yes, we had very beautiful country here. But pitty, that now in 2019 the whole timetable is reduced to 4 trains (two in one direction) per day. :( I´m happy that I had a chace to see the ladscape from drivers cab from locomotive class 754, but idk about future of this railroute. :/ But beautiful video :) Best regards from Košice. :)
Great trip reminiscent of Greek railways at the stations. Well maintained track BUT if you have to slow to a crawl to navigate a couple of sets of points then they need to be reconstructed. Also, if there are ANY crossings the operator must sound the horn several times before reaching the crossing and signs are needed to remind the operator.I would recommend a change in horn sound as it can be confused with classic steel on steel screech,
What the train driver MUST do depends on the particular country's rule book. This is Slovakia, after all, not America. European railways are in general far less "horn happy" than the US. Those level crossings (which, as you may have noticed, are much rarer in any case on this side of the Atlantic) and other points which do require an audible warning of approach are signed accordingly. The trackside whistle posts in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (you can see them in this video) look like this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/%C5%BD07-1_P%C3%ADskejte.jpg

Stop and almost stop around 33:15 must be potential rockfall sites ? Very scary sudden appearance of school trip students along lakeshore tracks and bridges should require very reduced speed in summer season at a minimum as they can be predicted.
Nice video, nice scenery a bit more information such as station names/town names would make it more enjoyable for those of us who cannot get to the locations ourselves, Telgart, Central Europe doesn't tell us much, I realise it is in Slovakia but where in Slovakia would be nice to know.

gary granata They are there, the extra two rails on the inside, so that if there Is a derailment, none of the cars will fail off the bridge. It is an old practice. Suggest you get a subscription to TRAINS magazine, published out of Milwaukee. The magazine is 65 years old and is the best for people who have interest in railroads.
If You see thoroughly once again the white line goes downward to the nearest safety niche (bay) where a railway worker (...or even an unauthorized person) can hide.
It show you distance and witch way to go from the nearest point where you can hide in case you walking in tunnel and train is incoming. this is the pattern: /\0/\0/\ (0 is shelter position)
Thank you, it makes sense. Reminds me of a variable pitch proximity alarm I had on one of my cars. I have not seen this method used in any tunnel I have been through.
Na região de Banská Bystrica no centro-sul da Eslováquia. O percurso apresentado vai de Červená Skala a Dedinky, via Telgárt, Vernár, Dobšinská Ľadová Jaskyňa, Stratená.
