Modern Trains Replace Iconic Rack Railway Cars in Eastern Slovakia
Share:
The iconic rack railway cars that served Slovakia's mountainous eastern regions have been replaced with modern trains, leaving the historic vehicles stored in a depot. The railway's new owner is seeking approval from railway authorities to potentially convert the old cars into a tourist attraction. The rack railway system, which uses a toothed rail mechanism to climb steep mountain grades, has been a distinctive feature of Slovakia's eastern transport infrastructure for decades.
