Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

The -trbsk- Pleso to -trba rack railway is a 1, 000 mm (3 ft 3 3-8 in) gauge railway located in Slovakia-s scenic High Tatra Mountains. It was built in 1896 and reconstructed in 1970. At the valley terminus (-trba, it connects to the standard-gauge main line between Bratislava and Ko-ice, and at the mountain terminus (-trbsk- Pleso, it connects to the Tatra Electric Railway. During the Great Depression traffic declined with the railway closing on 14th September 1932. The line was dismantled in the 1940-s. With the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships due to take place in 1970 at -trbsk- Pleso, plans were considered for a new rack railway, resulting in the line re-opening using two-thirds of the original route with the rest on an entirely new alignment. In -trbsk- Pleso, a new joint railway station shared with the Tatra Electric Railway was constructed. 1500 V DC overhead electrification, as used on the Tatra Electric Railway was chosen to power the new electric multiple units supplied by SLM.

That's another picturesque ride, and I'm always interested to see rack/cog railways. I think the interlinking of rails are very interesting.
I can't help wondering what those Z-like symbols are on the signs next to the railway. I'm sure they don't mean -it's all downhill from here so we can go to sleep, Zzz-; )
