Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In the third part of our mystery tour from Poprad to Bratislava we leave the electrified mainline at Vr-tky to join a secondary cross country line to Horn- -tub-a. For much of the route we pass pleasant farm land set in a wide valley, passing through the occasional small town or village. Mountains can be seen in the distance either side of the train, although we have to wait until the next leg of this journey before we start climbing out of the valley

It amazes me that in rural areas of Slovakia they can still have dual tracks, yet here in Australia, once you're out past Maitland on the North Coast or North-Western lines, the line drops to single-track. Even out west of Sydney, beyond Campbelltown or so, the line may drop to single-track. I've noticed this on a rail excursion to Gloucester yesterday(Saturday, 27th July 2019. A group of us paid $55 for a seat on the vintage CPH-class -Tin Hare- rail motors, 1, 3 and 7 for a day at Gloucester's -Chill Festival-. What I saw of the festival itself didn't leave much of an impression on me, it was mainly the ride on the -Tin Hares- that attracted me. Leaving Maitland station a bit after 7. 00am the train joins the North Coast line a few kilometres out of Maitland and drops to single-track a bit before it enters Telarah station. And from there to the Queensland Border it's all single track with passing loops. Cheers, Tim.

Does not matter that I can't pronounce the names of the cities.
What matters is the fun watching you record it so we can get there on our screens.
Thanks Tim.
