Glamour trains back in business
A railway used in the 1920s to ferry armed guerillas around the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – now Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro – is back on track as a tourist attraction.
The Sargan Eight railroad, which snakes through rocky tunnels and across wooden trestle bridges, has been revived by former workers in a bid to woo foreign visitors.
The railway has been in a state of disrepair for many years but once linked eastern, southern and central areas of the then newly-founded kingdom. It was used by the military to move supplies and connect Belgrade, Sarajevo and Dubrovnik.
Former Yugoslav leader Tito and his guerrilla fighters held sway over it during the Second World War, preventing the German army from using it to carry its own supplies.
Reuters news agency says a number of former engineers have been brought out of retirement to reconstruct and revitalise the figure eight-shaped route, which climbs to nearly 3,000 feet.
