This sign indicate that there is a railway station (on Valjevo - Loznica) on right side. The sign is here, but there is no station!
Valjevo-Loznica line was projected for 120km/h speeds, 25kv 50hz power, 68km lenght. There are 20 tunnels on the line, with 10.175m total lenght which is 15% of line lenght. The longest tunnels are Popare (1991m), Jovanje (1600m), Trifkovic (1719m). There are 69 projected bridges (majority of them are already build), with total lenght of 3.932m.
The history of Valjevo - Loznica line (located in north-west Serbia) is veeery intresting. First actions about Valjevo-Loznica (Va-LO) line
hapened in 1910`s when some ground work on two tunnels started. All that stoped in 1914, when WW I started. After the war, The kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians (SHS) could not continue the work since there was no money! Some 18-19 years later, in 1938, the project started again and, again, it was interupted and stopped in 1941 when WW II started. It took 45 years (from 1945 till 1990) to continue the works. A lot of work was finish during the 1990-1992 period. Then came UN sanctions and, for the 3rd time, all work on line was stooped until 1999. (after NATO agresion). In 1999-2000 period, all tunnels and majority of bridges were finished, but all that stooped in 2001 and entire line was conserved for some better future period. The line is compltete, except there are no tracks, catenary, stations and trains - only tunnels and bridges!!

Valjevo - Loznica line, near village Osecina, some 30km from Valjevo. This section is very intresting, since this is only place on entire line which has some tracks! This track on picture was build for only one reason - there were three luxury passenger cars on this track and they were only for the politicans! When local politicans needed more publicity, they came here and took pictures with workers and have lunch in these 3 cars! After 2001, all 3 vagons were removed together with tracks, expect this small section on picture.

Some 18-19 years later, in 1938, the project started again and, again, it was interupted and stopped in 1941 when WW II started. It took 45 years (from 1945 till 1990) to continue the works. A lot of work was finish during the 1990-1992 period. Then came UN sanctions and, for the 3rd time, all work on line was stooped until 1999. (after NATO agresion). In 1999-2000 period, all tunnels and majority of bridges were finished, but all that stooped in 2001 and entire line was conserved for some better future period. The line is compltete, except there are no tracks, catenary, stations and trains - only tunnels and bridges!!

railway bridge on valjevo - Loznica line.
Valjevo-Loznica line was projected for 120km/h speeds, 25kv 50hz power, 68km lenght. There are 20 tunnels on the line, with 10.175m total lenght which is 15% of line lenght. The longest tunnels are Popare (1991m), Jovanje (1600m), Trifkovic (1719m). There are 69 projected bridges (majority of them are already build), with total lenght of 3.932m.
The history of Valjevo - Loznica line (located in north-west Serbia) is veeery intresting. First actions about Valjevo-Loznica (Va-LO) line
hapened in 1910`s when some ground work on two tunnels started. All that stoped in 1914, when WW I started. After the war, The kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians (SHS) could not continue the work since there was no money!

Valjevo - Loznica line, near village Osecina, some 30km from Valjevo. This section is very intresting, since this is only place on entire line which has some tracks! This track on picture was build for only one reason - there were three luxury passenger cars on this track and they were only for the politicans! When local politicans needed more publicity, they came here and took pictures with workers and have lunch in these 3 cars! After 2001, all 3 vagons were removed together with tracks, expect this small section on picture.
