    I travelled on a few Greek trains Patras, Olympia, Korinth Nafplion in the early 1970s. I used to love the lamb souvlaki kids would sell on the platforms - you just lent out the window and paid for it. Unforgettable. Many thanks for great video bringing back so many cherished memories of fabulous Greece.

    Great video! Definitely needs rail maintenance, new crossings, platforms & stations. That'll eliminate 90% of the horn noise and make many people happy, LOL. I'm sure new rail cars would be nice too, but not sure the Greece economy can support it. Hopefully this line receives updates as it offers beautiful views throughout & not found anywhere else in the world. Thanks again for sharing!

    Oh my gosh! A lovely tour of Greece but the train made such a ruckus that it even disturbed my mom who was lying down reading her book adjacent to me. Half the time the train driver kept using the horn. I liked the two minute arial view you showed us during a stoppage at a station. Felt like I was looking down from my own balcony. 😆😆😆.

    Thank you Anmol. The line is the second oldest in Greece, constructed during 1882 - 83. The view was taken from a top of a hotel. Sorry for your mama and the horns but the driver has to use it for safety many times for cars and pedestrians crossing the line. The whole line will be upgraded in the near future.

    You get the ticket from a ticket person inside the train or the internet it only stops if there is a station or a raised concrete platform for example the platform at 14:55 that lady near the start was probably staff of some sort like he said that stopped and got in at the crossing i don't know that actually

    Which motor is the train powered by? It cannot be electrical because there is no power line. And you can't hear an internal combustion engine. Mit welchem Motor wird die Bahn angetrieben? Elektrisch kann es nicht sein, denn es fehlt die Stromleitung. Und einen Verbrennungsmotor hört man nicht.

    Something is constantly dragging the rails, with the exception of the places where the continuation of the rail lines are connected to one another. See e.g. from 12:12 Who can explain this to me? 12:12 Also irgend etwas schleift ständig an den Schienen, mit Ausnahme an den Stellen, wo die Fortsetzung der Schienenstränge aneinander verbunden sind.
