- This was one of the more unusual railways visited during my tour of Slovakia, a standard gauge rack section on the national railway system. Our delightful train was made up of a fascinating Class 40 rack locomotive No.4296 built by MAV and three beautifully restored carriages. This difficult section of the Brezno and Tisovec railway over Zbojská Sadle required several tunnels, a number of lofty viaducts and the use of a rack rail on the steepest sections. For safety reasons the locomotive is marshalled at the rear of the train so that it pushes it up the steep inclines, much of this video was taken from the veranda of the front carriage giving excellent views of the line ahead.

Thx tim! I enjoyed this very much! Again many thx!
Thank you George, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Another beautiful film. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Your channel takes me all over the world. Thank You for sharing all! ❤️❤️❤️
It's good to have your virtual company and I'm pleased you enjoy travelling with me :-)
Wow nice trip and great views. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels ahead. God bless
Our touring party is making its way up into the mountains, reflected in the more dramatic scenery we are now seeing. I look forward to taking you even higher in the video I should have ready by next weekend. Take care. Tim.
Truly beautiful Tim...many thanks. What superb scenery and it’s the very first standard gauge rack railway I’ve seen in action. Now I’m going to look it up on Google Earth. Keep up the excellent work please! Rob.
Hi Rob, I really appreciate your comment, this is the first and only standard gauge Rack railway I've seen, I understand there are one or two more, but I'm not sure if any are operated with steam. This tour of Slovakia turned up some real gems, most of which are still to come. Tim.
Beautiful - nemá chybu!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
Wow! Intriguing. Thanks Tim
This ride was out of the ordinary, standing on the balcony at the front was an unusual experience, especially on the high viaducts.
That must have been exciting....I take it, you have no fear of heights
I love things that are out of the ordinary, I would describe myself as having a healthy respect for heights.
Ha ha....well said!
Hello Tim! Really wonderful video recordings. I did not know that there is a rack railway in standard gauge. You never learn in life. In Austria we have three rack railways. Everything meter gauge. A wonderful country, Slovakia. Greetings from Hans from the Mühlviertel. 👍🚂
Hello Johann, I was not aware of many standard gauge rack railways, although Pikes Peak Gog in Colorado is standard Gauge. I have also been informed there is one in the Czech Republic. I hope to join a rail-tour to Austria next year. Greeting from the UK. Tim.
Beautiful Scenery
It was a very enjoyable train ride.
lovely old steam engine
Thanks Tim, a first class journey, though I admit to watching it 2X as I only had 25 minutes available to watch it. That train is a Slow Mover. Say, that is a pretty snazzy red diesel there at the end, pushing coffee cups for the tourists.
That 2 X button can be very useful, especially with a train travelling at the speed of this one. The diesel did look smart, I think the coffee cups contained water to put out any fires caused by the steam engine.
Nice video!
Thank you.
nemá chybu krása, moja srdcovka, dakujem
Hi again, Tim! Very good shooting again. This is amazing landscapes and very good regional railway is it. So it's celebration for my eyes! 😆 Great work! 👍 Thank you very much. Have sunny day 🍷
/Here afternoon hit me a small rain, and cloudy with cold wind. Cyclone... Sadly 🤗/
P.S. Especially thanks for booklet! /Available by link in video description./
Hi Chuck, this was an unusual railway, the locomotive looked wonderful, add to that the attractive carriages and the pretty scenery and you've got a first class train ride. We are still experiencing good weather here, although the temperature is a few degrees lower. The little booklet has some interesting information in it. I hope it's a nice day where you tomorrow, take care. Tim.
Good morning, Tim! So it's very good trip, and I impatient wait next videos. At morning local weather is still good, let's see what happens next. To my misfortune, such early signs of autumn cyclones are again felt for us.This are since fall of 2016, when solar activity has almost completely ceased, these adversities have come to us... 😢 They stole the heat, bastards they at top! Take care, and have sunny day! Chuck
Hi Chuck, I will start editing the next video in a day or two. Blaming those in charge of Solar activity for a cold winter because they stole the heat does seen a little far fetched, but it sounds good to me. I would say "I'll have a glass of whatever you were drinking last night" but I'm not that cheeky. Stay warm. Tim
Good morning, Tim! Hehehe, good words! :-) Sure, when I was be small boy, my grandmother like repeats me this local proverb: 'Eat pies with mushrooms and keep your mouth shut'. Because since my childhood, I have not climbs in my pocket for a word, hahaha! It was being in reign of the red dragon... but I survived. But if may I was lived in the Middle Ages, I would not have escaped fire like old clever Giordano Bruno. 🤗 Take care, and have sunny day! 🍷
P.S. Sure, now I go to watching your new video. Yesterday, a contents of warm glass for the night did not let me see it, hehehe. 😆
Your Grandmother sounds as though she was a wise lady. I'm am lucky not to have experienced the era of the red dragon. I can tell you we have a sunny autumn day here with a bit of a nip in the air, summer is almost over and the tree are starting to display their autumn colours. I guess the mountains around you will soon be snow capped. Enjoy your day :-)
Great video. Can I ask what camera you used to record this.
Hi John, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. This video was recorded using a Sony FDR-AX53 Handycam.
Apart from my oh-so-corny joke, another great offering, Tim!
Cheers Neil.
Cheers, Tim! As to my jokes, I might be crazy but I'm not insane-'click' insane-'click' insane-'click'........
I'll believe you, or is it a case of "it takes one to know one".
LOL again!
:-)
LIKED. PEACE...
Thank you, Greetings.
Boy oh boy she's a slow old train, this one, ay! I think I saw a snail zip past her a little while ago. It was pretending to be a racer and had an 'S' painted on the shell. I saw it and said: "Gee, look at that S-car go!" LOL(yeah, I know, it's and old joke..... Hmmmmm!)
Oh dear, where are you getting those old jokes from. The train was in no hurry, but there was no reason to hurry, we had all day.
LOL I have my sources(sauces), Tomato, Worcester(schooster-scheester), Tomale(call the fire brigade!)....Oh dear! I can't help it really, I'm a former community radio presenter and it's a prerequisite to be a bit "coo-coo" in that branch of the media!
Community radio's got a lot to answer for.
LOL
Well, that explains why no * proper * steam train sounds .
My caustic tongue is stilled for the moment - but great camera work .
Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if having the loco at the back means you don't hear it working hard on the long climb.
У вас не железная дорога а дыра средневековая,ни светофоров не электрических стрелок, никакой безопасности для пассажиров,дорога запущенна нет ухода за ней заросла травой,деревьями.Снято хорошо,места красивые.Приезжайте к нам в Россию,у нас есть места красивее ваших,добро пожаловать.

na salaši zbojská výborne varia, je tam skvelá kuchyna
Mali sme jedlo v reštaurácii v blízkosti Zbojská stanice. Bolo to veľmi chutné.
@@Timsvideochannel1 ak ste jedli nedaľeko stanice Zbojská, tak to bol určite wooden chalet , ktorú vidno aj z vláčika a je tam vždy veľa ludí aj turistov, sú tam prekrásne turistické trasy a majú tam výborné bryndzové halušky, Slovak specialty, pravá ovčia bryndza is fantastic
Zbojská bol obľúbený u chodcov, keď sme navštívili, jedlo v reštaurácii bola tradičná a veľmi chutné.
Perhaps Albert Einstein was inspired by this railroad to his thoughts about relativity of time? - Serious, Tim, be glad to got an extra lesson about meaning of time. - Heinz
Time is relative, but in this case it was nice to have enough time to enjoy the wonderful scenery.
