That was a great ride on a very fast at times train. Slovenia scenery never disappoints. Views of the Sava River were always great. The homes on the slopes were beautiful and around the small towns that the train went through. Thanks for showing me a part of the world that I will never see in real life.

You are correct. This is series SŽ/JŽ 642 built by Brissonneau et Lotz diesel locomotive. But there is also a SŽ/JŽ series 643 locos built under license by "Đuro Đaković" in Slavonski Brod. Se SŽ 643 had more powerfull engine inside and some other changes were made. How to to separate them only by visuals is easy. SŽ 642 has yellow straight line all over the loco and SŽ 643 has 2 falling yellow lines at each end of loco. @1:47:30 these are SŽ 643 in newer Blue paint scheme. 2 are coupled together.
Nice!! Another super ride ... great scenery, and excellent information to fill in along the way! Great to see more and more of Slovenia. Thanks for sharing. [Greetings from Tucson]

The Central Sava Valley! i made this route by car close to the railways from Ljubljana to Celje! Wonderful landscape crossing Litja, Trbovlje mining city and beautiful Celje!
I was in Slovenia a couple times in the early 2000 and then again in 2014 and 2015 for business reasons but it was between Ljubljana the Capital and down to the port city of Koper and surrounding coastal area but I'm surprised how lovely this trip was between Ljubljana and Maribor. Still amazed how much the government is putting into and updating the rail system, you can see the massive amount of improvement that's happened even since 2015 and when I first visited back around 2004 the difference is truly incredible in such a short amount of time really.
@Richard Long it is true, they are investing a lot in infrastructure, especially on two main lines, from Ljubljana to Maribor and to Koper. There are major works on the second line all the way down to the sea, to Koper. Hopefully this will improve the travelling time and people will more often choose to take a train. Gretings from Slovenia!
@@RailRelaxation I tell you if and when things start to hopefully normalize where were not having pandemic travel restriction problems like in 2020 and 2021 and other a war going on in Ukraine which is creating global economic and political upheavals I will be taking another trip over to Slovenia, to Bulgaria through Hungary and Romania that's a given so long as the good Lord allows it to happen.
I love how little Slovenia has these cute smol pendolinos, i can't wait to take one of them someday! Also the speed limit signs have three separate speeds, what do they mean? I'm assuming it's Pendolinos, Passenger Trains and Freight trains speed limits, but i don't know.
Čudovito ! Čestitam ! Meraviglios0 ! Congratulazioni ! Il tratto superiore sloveno della vecchia Vienna-Trieste. Questi video Rail Relaxation sono i migliori in assoluto! Due curiosità: al km. 127, 1 fra Poličane e Slovenska Bistrica c'era fino novanta anni fa un tunnel, eliminato. Fino a 20 anni fa si vedevano ancora i resti delle nicchie, gli ultimi lavori hanno allargato la sede dei binari. Ma si può ancora capire che c'era. Al km. 134 per un passaggio a livello guasto il treno si ferma e poi fa la regolare marcia a vista. E poi a Pragersko gli ormai infiniti lavori..........quando finiranno?
Woah that's a really pleasant ride! It seems the infrastructure is relatively new and also the locomotives, which makes the trip quiet and fluid. Really impressive and beautiful landscapes tough! Nice country, I'll book it for a next trip.
@sergiobasilio8098 Slovenia is a nice country. In the last few years and still ongoing, there are many new projects and refurbishments of the railway lines.
is there a refurbishment in Pragersko 's railway station? i saw Zidani Most - Celje trackside is more recent and renewed! The line close to Sava River lacks of a modern railway! The mainline is strategic but needs a line less tortuous! I saw a lot of increasing changes from Zidani Most upon Lasko! maybe Savinja Vallery is more inhabited! I didn't understand why SZ couldn't make a tunnel linking Ljubljana to Celje, without passing on the Sava Valley.
@wladislaw79 There are major works on that line. They are renovating the Railway station in Pragersko and the line there. The works should end by the end of 2023. Concerning the tunnel from Ljubljana to Celje, I really don't know. I heard in the news something about the new railway line from Ljubljana to Maribor with the travelling time 55 minutes. That would be great. Maybe someone else reading this comment can tell us more....
This is the original line, that was built by austrians 150 years ago, Sava valley was an important coal mining centre at that time, also building it where highway is would be expensive so it is what it is.
They are planning a series of tunnels in the Sava River from Ljubljana until Zidani most, and in Savinja valley from Zidani most till Celje to make the line straight and capable of speeds up to 200km/h, but the project hasn't started yet.The current line mostly runs on the old corridor from 19th century, when tunneling technology wasn't so advanced and required speeds were low. The Section from Celje to Ljubljana is currently a major bottleneck. The highway is much more direct and as a result, rail passenger traffic is low. With the modernisation and tunnel building, the travel time on ICS train will be faster than with a car. Celje -> Maribor -> Austria is currently being renewed, so is Ljubljana -> Koper (with a completely new, mostly tunneled line from Divača onwards). Renovation works were already completed on Ljubljana -> Jesenice line last year.
Very nice video, thanks for sharing. BTW, do you know what's the criteria for light signals being positioned to the left or to the right side of the running track? Thanks.
Signals are typically on right side of the track (in stations or on single-track lines), but when You have a dual-track line, signals on the open line (outside of station) are on the "outer" side - so both right and left, especially if line is equipped with bidirectional signalling when both tracks can be used for both directions. On double-track lines, Slovenia follows "Italian" convention which is driving on the left in normal operation (in neighbouring Croatia our default is opposite, right-hand operation). So, in stations you look at the signal on the right, but on double-track lines You look to "outside" depending on which track You are.
I would argue that right-hand operation makes more sense as then signalling is always logical (on the right) regardless if You are in a station or on open track (especially as line does not have to have bidirectional signalling) - in our case (Croatia) even with bidirectional signalling it is considered "regular" to drive on the right (and observe right-side signals) while driving on the left is considered "irreuglar" operation. In Slovenia it turns around - in station and single-track You observe right-side signals, but on dual-track You follow left-side signals.
@@ruipina5636 I stand corrected - at 45:33 You see line to Dobova (and Croatian border) branching on the right. That line (Zidani Most - Dobova) is exception in Slovenia as it's right-hand operation (same as line in Croatia it connects to) - take a look here: th-cam.com/video/djyd95idgwI/w-d-xo.html
Regardless of considering LH or RH side track the standard track, the rationale for putting signals on the outside of a double track line is simplicity. Ease of access and maintenance of signals and their infrastructure. Also, ground-mounted signal posts would need more space between tracks. That's the reason for using signal bridges only in special situations (visibility). Many countries have similar signal installation designs.
@acratatube thank you for your comment. The colour depends on the velocity, on the parts with red colour the train drives faster and on green parts, it drives slower.
Lep posnetek in fantastična hitrost za slovenske kraje :). Sicer imam pa občutek, kot da bi bilo eno od koles malce pobrušeno, ker proizvaja ponavljajoč zvok (kot udarci), kateremu se frekvenca viša s hitrostjo vlaka....
V minuti 1:05:00, kjer piše "iz Velenja", to ne drži, saj iz Velenja ni možen direkten uvoz na tovorno postajo Čret, ker ni "trikotnika". :) Že drugi video gledam, kjer je to narobe označeno. ;)
Hello - many thanks - an excellent video - I do however have one complaint - You caused my dinner to get cold - And I don't like pizza - If you do that again - I promise that I will not complain - again
Ich bin ein wenig geschockt. Ich dachte, SLO wäre schon weiter: 1 Stunde und 50 Minuten zwischen den beiden grössten Städten des Landes, ist wirklich kein Standard. Und das mit einem IC. Ohje, da gibt es noch viel zu tun
I assume this train engineer knew well that he is being recorded. Yet he regularly drives faster than permitted. Looks like speed limits do not apply to everbody...
@siemens451 He was aware, for sure. But please note that the speed data is GPS based and can be very inaccurate. It might indicate a different speed than the actual speed. It gives you a pretty good feeling, but it is not accurate. I always put that in the description of the video too.
Ja zares je vprašanje zakaj je taka hitrost se mi zdi da je tisti kateri določa omejitve hitrosti malce pospano djeluje Vsekakor pa je lepo pogledat Slovensko ozemlje
