Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Today we continue our adventure through the countries of the former Yugoslavia in search of steam as we say good bye to Sarajevo and head to Mokra Gora through beautiful mountain scenery, we follow the course of the Drina River to Vi-egrad where we had originally intended to join an international steam hauled narrow gauge train to Mokra Gora, sadly that was not to be, instead we picked up the train just inside the Serbian border. Vi-egrad is a tourist destination, surrounded by mountains on the banks of the Drina River. I made my way to the deserted station where the restored tracks lay rusting in the warm sunshine, I couldn-t help wondering how different it would have looked if the dream of a tourist railway was ever realised, with a smart engine simmering in the platform waiting for excited tourists to finish taking photographs and eating ice-creams before taking their seats on the train. After a delicious lunch at one of the local river side restaurants, we boarded our motor coach for the journey to the Bosnia and Herzegovina/Serbia border, with tantalising glimpses of the railway passing through the picturesque countryside. Once over the border our smartly turned out class 83 locomotive and train was waiting to take us on to Mokra Gora, through pretty rolling hills with plenty of photo stops to record our progress along this rarely used section of the -argan Eight Railway. Arrival at Mokra Gora showed how the station at Vi-egrad would look should tourist trains ever return, with restaurants, cafes, tourist shops, hotels, all the hustle and bustle one would expect in a tourist hot spot. The -argan Eight Railway is a narrow gauge line, 760 mm (2 ft 5 15-16 in. This video was filmed 11th June 2017

Hello Tim, once again the question arises, why can the peoples of Balkan not live together peacefully in this magnificent landscape? Why are they whipped up by warmongers instead ignoring them? - Heinz

You must have a bunch of expensive cameras to get the breathtaking shots. Thanks for making videos for us. They are truly amazing. :)

Is the narrow gauge steam engine coal fired or oil? I ask because of the blue haze rather than black or grey when working up a hill.

Geez, that gauge WAS narrow! The Ravenglass-Eskdale light rail could've easily run on those lines! Great video, Tim!
