Rails Through Heaven - Part [1]: Lianokladi - Tithorea [ driver's eye view ]

Niet normaal, zeer mooie beelden van treinroute in de bergen en enorm diepe dalen, echt benauwend of deze film te bekijken op groot scherm.

Europe's one of the most breathtaking railway lines through the mountainous part of Central Greece. An engineering masterpiece started 120+ years ago (1890) and completed by the french company 'Batignolles' in 1906. The most spectacular and famous part is that between Gorgopotamos Viaduct and Bralos Tunnel which passes through numerous gorges, long tunnels, rocky slopes, stone bridges and structural steel viaducts. At many points you feel like being in the air than in a rail trip. Unfortunately, this beauty is expected to close sometime in 2017. A new construction project, started back in 1997, is about to be completed by the mid of 2017. This project involved the construction of the New Double High Speed Railway Line Tithorea – Lianokladi – Domokos which replaces the mountainous part of this existing single line, 122 km long, with a New Double High Speed Railway Line, 106 km long.
