Šargan Eight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Šargan Eight (Serbian: Шарганска осмица) is a narrow gauge heritage railway in Serbia, running from the village of Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi station. An extension to Višegrad in the Republika Srpska is under construction.
The railway with a gauge of 760 mm (2 ft 6 in) was an important part of the former narrow gauge main line from Sarajevo to Belgrade and closed in 1974. Between 1999 and 2003 the section over the Šargan pass was rebuilt by the Serbian Ministry of Tourism and the Yugoslavian states railway JŽ, now the Serbian railways, Železnice Srbije.
