My wife and I enjoyed this video. It's quite wonderful to see parts of the world we may never visit. We live in central Virginia USA in the country. The more we see, the more we realize how much of humanity is the same Thanks for your efforts!
This route is basically my childhood. I took the train from Cakovec to Osijek around 5 to 10 times a year to visit my grandma who lives in Osijek. Thank you for bringing me down memory lane. I really love it❤
@kittfedoroff4495 I appreciate that! Thank you. A lot of work, but it is nice to show all those lines, some scenic, some less scenic, but interesting and important. Thanks again.
The mountain range Krndija-Papuk description needs some minor rectification. While approaching Našice you can see some Krndija in the distance. Also, Papuk mountain range starts about there. Basically Papuk stretches for the most part from Našice until Čačinci. After that, Papuk is no more, so "Slopes of Papuk" are just some Podravina hills stretching towards Koprivnica. Thank you for another video, RR, I really like when you surprise me. 😉
The scenery is very beautiful. Judging by the color of the soil in the fields, clay and/or sand predominate in it. Пейзажи очень красивые. Судя по цвету грунта на полях, в нем преобладают глина и/или песок.
Thanks for one more excellent video. Next section of this part that will be modernized is the one from Kloštar to Koprivnica (part of the Kloštar - Koprivnica - Varaždin - Čakovec project) which is expected to be finnished in few years from now. :)
@@RailRelaxation Thank you too. Also, by the end of this year, modernized sections Zabok - Krapina (North-West Croatia, max speed will be 80 km/h) and Vinkovci - Vukovar (on the far east, max speed will be 120 km/h) will open.
Swietelsky, Austrian construction company will be modernizing 45km section between Koprivnica to Pitomaca, so speeds should go up a bit, it is approved for speeds up to 120kmph, current speeds are around 60kmph on much of the section should improve dramatically, Section between Osijek and Koska also got funding for modernization. All paid out of Croatian state budget, sadly EU does not fund local or regional routes. The line will be entirely modernized and new signalization installed, so journey between Osijek and Koprivnica should last only 90-100 minutes. Good video, shows all the progress on the line. The line won't be electrified btw, but new bi-mode battery - electric trains will be put on the line, with battery charging stations in Osijek and Virovitica being built as we speak. First battery trains should enter service in 2025.
Grazie delle informazioni ! E' bello vedere come progrediscono i paesi UE, purtroppo come dici tu la UE se ne frega del trasporto locale, che invece è fondamentale per un paese moderno. Oggi purtroppo la UE è impegnata a soggiacere ai colonizzatori di oltre Atlantico, invece di pensare ai suoi cittadini.
@@doriancroatia2054 Well the funding which will partially come from the €900 million investment loan and most from the budget needs to be agreed on, but first project documentation and feasibility study must be completed. If all goes well, by end of this year we could see these done. Then there's a public tender for works, which can take 12 to 18 months, but if all goes well, at the end of 2026 we could see start of works on this section, with completion date around late 2028, otherwise if things stretch 2030.
The good farmland, very neat villages and towns, well maintained right of way along with generally good condition of the railroad, makes me think I am in the middle of Illinois, USA. Only thing that is lacking are more huge grain elevators served by rail.
Le riprese sono, come al solito, ottime. I risultati, come da Vostro consiglio, indirizzano ad un addormentamento completo ! Tecnicamente la linea è da "terzo mondo antico" !
Another very long train journey... with wonderful pictures, especially the cloud formation at the beginning, which was probably dissolved by the rising sun 😊👍 The landscape is not so interesting, but the many semaphore signals are still there 🤗 - I find it interesting that at most stations these only serve as entry signals, in the stations themselves there are usually no signals next to the tracks! This long railway line is not very busy either: in the almost four hours there was only ONE train crossing, but it is still commendable that this is being modernized - in earlier years, like all over the world, rail traffic would have simply been rationalized away without any care... Best wishes 🖖
@wandajackson3410 I do my filming mostly over weekends, that is why the tracks and stations look empty, I guess during the working week there is a bit more traffic. Thank you for your comment and I wish you a nice day.
@@RailRelaxation OK, thanks for your reply 👍 Hope you got my mail with a suggestion for a new cab view ride in Southern Germany…!? Filming on weekends… could be difficult on my suggested line because of some train cancellations on saturday and sunday… 🤔 Anyway: a very interesting line with varied landscape and interesting railway history 👍
@wandajackson3410 Thank you, I did. As I am traveling right now, it is a bit difficult to respond. When I am back home, I will read it more carefully and will respond too. Sorry for not responding before.

No bears here, in croatia you can find brown bears only in central mountainous parts, as well as wolves and lynxes, here from bigger wildlife only deer species, pigs and jackals.
Such a long line needs an immediate improvement. I hope that HZPP will consider electrifying the section from Varadzin to Dalj. This line is the backbone of the Croatian network. The track up to Virovitica has been repaired but the line needs improvement and adaptation to the ERTMS systems used in Europe. Also the traffic is very low. Really slow line, but beautiful landscape overlooking Baranja and Slavonia always along the Drava. The speed of 100 km/h always seems too slow to me if compared to the new Emu "Koncar" that are on the flagship Zagreb-Belgrade line. This convoy seems to be like an Intercity but on a diesel line. I saw that the platforms have been fixed. In some sections also the track. Nice line, but a bit obsolete. It would be nice to also do the Virovitica - Daruvar - Kutina section so as to almost close the discussion on Croatian routes! Thanks!
Mi permetto di tornare al video FCE ferrovia dell'Etna: la tratta Catania Borgo - Paterno verra chiusa definitivamente a giugno 2024 per permettere la costruzione della metropolitana di Catania fino a Paterno, in futuro la FCE sara da Paterno a Giarre purtroppo!

Domanda: la motrice diesel raffigurata nella presentazione e poi alla testa del convoglio da dove nasce ? Ossia, chi la produce e quali sono le caratteristiche tecniche ? Grazie
Locomotive is Croatian Railways (HŽPP) 2044 series, which is a EMD GT22HW-2 locomotive license-built in Croatia/Yugoslavia in 1980s by Đuro Đaković factory from city of Slavonski Brod. It is a 6-axle locomotive but with only 4 powered axles in (A1A)' (A1A)' setup as it was made to have lower axle load (98t on 6 axles for 16,5t/axle) so it can be used on lower quality lines as well. Engine is EMD645 series V12 diesel with output of 1750kW (2330HP). It is used in Croatia for passenger trains on non-electrified lines (here in Slavonia but also for night trains and some day trains to Split). If You Google "HŽ 2044" or "JŽ 645" You can find more information about them.
At 3:14:44 in KLOŠTAR You can see a "opposite" train to our train - this is what train from the video looks like, blue HŽPP 2044 locomotive with several 1st/2nd class passenger cars of different types (Aeelt, Beet).
@@ZvonimirZelenika Che la macchina fosse del tipo di quella incrociata lo avevo capito sin dall'nizio, quando con il sole alle spalle del convoglio, era riflessa sul binario la forma della cabina della macchina ! Ed essendo la forma ancora di stile non russo, ma sovietico, non ho capito se è una 4 o una 6 assi ! Grazie comunque della sua risposta.
These ones in video were license-built (HŽ 2044 were originally JŽ 645 and were built by Đuro Đaković in Slavonski Brod), in general, in Croatia and other ex-Yugoslavia countries You can find combination of US-built, MACOSA (Spain) license built and Đuro Đaković (Yugoslavia/Croatia) license built. Funnily enough, JŽ 661 (EMD G16) were very common and had a nickname "Kennedy" (or "Kenedi") as they were delivered in early 1960s during JFK.
The train speeds seem a little slow for what one would expect of a mainline route, but maybe that's the best the track can accommodate. On the other hand, there's always the possibility of corrupted GPS data given Russia's penchant for jamming satellite transmissions in eastern Europe.
@@RailRelaxation Thanks for the clarification; I kind of figured poor track conditions probably contributed to the slow speeds, but without first-hand knowledge of the route, that was more of a guess. In any event, I enjoyed your video and am looking forward to viewing some of the other trips. Thanks again and best regards!
We didn’t have any GPS jamming, so speeds are (unfortunately) real. This is techically a ‘Regional’ line and in best case it would be limited to 100km/h due ro lack of modern signalling system (per local regulation). Line should be upgraded over time to look like Virovitica-Pitomača section.
