In 70s pretty much you could go from any town to any town in Yugoslavia by rail ,back then trains were still new and clean

This year, 70 million Euros reconstruction of railway line Zadar Knin will begin. Should be finished in 4 years, so we can hope in 2028-2029 we will see trains in Zadar again

Good inspiration for a diorama👍🏼

Long time ago you could travel with overnight sleep train from Belgrade to Zadar. Now they do not have trains, they do not have train station or rail but they are independant.

@@harbl2479 If they are richer why they cannot afford decent rail with decent trains and decent train station? Is that EU standard maybe? I am sure that is what people of Zadar and Dalmatia always dreamed about.

@@blok63 Yugoslavia didn't have a good rail network, not even a common voltage for electrified lines. Most of the network in Slovenia and Croatia was built during Austria-Hungary. So I am sure that it's mostly nostalgia that people dream about if anything from that era

@@harbl2479 I do not remember that time so I cannot tell you anything about nostalgia, only about the fact. You could travel from Belgrade directly to Zadar with the overnight sleep train and today you cant. Today you cant even travel from Croatian capital of Zagreb simple as there is no rail. Rail Zadar-Knin was built 1967. and it was connecting Zadar with Zagreb and the rest of Ygoslavia. But what I know, it is EU standard. No rail is better that a rails that was built is 1967.
