Get a ride throughout whole Montenegro, from the Adriatic Sea to the galleries and tunnels in the mountainous part of the country.
Railway line Belgrade — Bar rises from the sea level to an altitude of 1032 m.
The lowest point of the railway line is 3m altitude and it is located in the Port of Bar. The railway then slowly climbs to the Sozina tunnel. The Sozina tunnel, 6171m long, is the longest tunnel on the Belgrade — Bar line. After passing through the mountain Rumija the railway line meanders through the valley of Lake Skadar. Until the city Podgorica railway line is located in the plain.

After the city of Podgorica the line becomes much more interesting. There is a canyon of the river Morača. The line runs through a multitude of tunnels and galleries, across many bridges and continuously climbs towards Kolasin.

To overcome the high altitude difference at a short distance, a serpentine was made in the canyon of Mala Rijeka river. On that part the line crossing over the highest railway bridge in Europe. Mala Rijeka bridge has a height of 200m from river to track.

On one part of the railway there is a tunnel Trebesica with a bridge built in it. During the digging of the tunnel mountain cleavages have encountered. This part of track had to be bridged.

After Trebesica tunnel there is a continental climate and a different flora and fauna. The line highest point is located in the tunnel, near Kolašin. After Kolašin the line descends towards Bijelo Polje.

The whole Belgrade — Bar railway line has 254 tunnels and 234 bridges. There are 102 tunnels and 96 bridges in Montenegro.

The most prominent infrastructure facilities in the Montenegrin part are:
— Tunnel «Sozina» ( 6171m ),
— Bridge «Tanki rt» ( 200m ),
— Bridge «Mala Rijeka» ( 499m long, 200m height ),
— Tunnel «Trebesica» ( 5172m ),
— Tunnel «Ostrovica» ( 3827m ),
— Tunnel "Šljivovica" ( 2194m ),
— Bridge «Tara I» ( 270m long ),
— Tunnel «Radigojno» ( 2370m ),
— Bridge «Tara III» ( 340m long ),
— Tunnel «Razvršje» («Mojkovac») ( 3246m ) and
— Bridge «Ljuboviđa» («Slijepač most») ( 450m long ).

Welcome to the second cab ride along the world famous, heritage listed Bernina railway, this time in 4K 60 frames per second quality — and during winter. If you missed the first run along this track, it is worth checking out youtu.be/Mw9qiV7XlFs (recorded Autumn 2019).
A special thank you to Paolo for recording this trip. His channel: www.youtube.com/user/dellacapaolo/

The Bernina railway sets a few records, including being the highest railway alpine crossing in Europe (2253m), the highest adhesion railway of the continent, the open air railway with the greatest height difference (1824m) and furthermore one of the steepest adhesion railways (conventional railway without cogs) worldwide, with gradients of up to 7%.

The gradients are included in the upper right corner in the same format as they appear to the driver. The arrow indicates whether the gradient is up or down, the larger number is the promille value (1/10 of 1%) and the smaller number indicates the distance of the gradient in meters. You will also see station names with their altitude, tunnel and bridge names with their length and year of construction — as well as other interesting information along the way to improve your viewing experience.

A unique aspect of Switzerlands narrow gauge mountain railways is the mixing of passenger and freight wagons in a single train, with wagons often added or removed at intermediate stops with shunting locomotives. On the Bernina line, the cargo mostly consists of wood on stake cars and derivatives of oil in tank cars. Today we take a wagon with us from Pontresina to Poschiavo with good for a Coop supermarket.

Thanks for watching and have a great day!
