That's a beautiful area for the train to go through, which I guess is one reason why it's survived. I wonder if you know whether they maintain the steam loco only because tourists like it, or if it was maintained because it was cheaper to run than a diesel?
I had an idea when I commented on one of your other videos that there was another name for this type of railway, but I couldn't remember it off-hand so I called it a -cog- railway, but -rack- railway is the same thing. The teeth on the cog fit into the teeth of the rack, providing extra traction on steep inclines.

I wasn't expecting that roughly the first third and the last quarter of the journey would be sans rack, but obviously (obvious to me now) only the middle part of the journey is steep enough to require the rack.
It's a lovely ride anyway through some very picturesque scenery.

That passing loop at Tisovec - Banovo must've been in need of repair as there were signs(assumedly) warning against trains running along the track, placed at each end of the passing loop. (at 17: 00 to 18: 35.

Very nice train ride. My favourite part is when it goes over the viaducts back and forth. Pretty cool. I suppose that was meant for shunting.
