That are Russian diesel locomotives, They were bought like 15 years ago.In Serbia there was 0 Invesment in rail network for 30 years so speeds were falling off the cliff to the point that everyone gived up off using rail .In last 3-4 years thing are going for better slowly so i hope for good future for rail here. Subotica-Belgrade high speed rail will be open later this year

Actually things are not going for better except for 1% of the network between Subotica and Belgrade, rest of the network is falling appart. Trains were regular on many lines 10 years ago that are now not even active anymore (Belgrade to Kragujevac or Čačak). You had 15+ international active lines before SNS rule, now you have to Montenegro and this short Szeged train, which is almost Albania shit level.

I rode this route a few weeks ago to try it. I think on the way there it was a similar locomotive as this one but the return trip was a MÁV branded one. The long wait at the border probably could have been reduced. They checked everyone’s documents quickly and then we just had to sit for a while.
@Europe-By-Train4 ай бұрын
I had the same one both ways, but saw on YT some videos with those in MÁV colours. Our border check from Serbia took long, as they seemed to have data connection issue and each passport took long to verify.

@@Europe-By-TrainSo they check with some portable machine? Meaning they scan it? In some instances as I heard border controls will just see your passport only but that's between Schengen regions.
@Europe-By-Train3 ай бұрын
The officer slides the passport through a scanner. The MRZ, located at the bottom of the passport's personal data page, contains two lines of text with alphanumeric characters and chevrons. The scanner reads the MRZ and extracts the encoded information. The extracted information is then cross-checked against various databases to verify the passport's validity and the traveler's identity. This can include checking for stolen or lost passports, verifying visa information, and confirming the traveler's entry eligibility.

@@Europe-By-Train Thank you very much. Actually there may one more addition to this, they kind of do a digital stamp meaning that at least with modern chip based passports they scan it and then a central database would know that you crossed that border at that special time and place. Could it be so?
@poulhnilica89873 ай бұрын
@@FarooqF-g2x As this is an external border, they are required to fully check and log all people and documents crossing, as well as cross check with SIS and other relevant databases. Within Schengen (internal borders) regular checks in general don't take place (that's the point). In case of exceptional circumstances (usually fight against extreme illegal immigration) you can be asked to identify yourself/legality of presence, but in most cases, this is done purely visually, often just to see that you in fact have such a document. Stamps are currently used to track how long third country nationals have stayed, this however in practice is not too reliable and hence soon the EES and ETIAS will be used, which will track these digitally, in a centralized manner managed by EULisa

@carick2354 ай бұрын
This section was also upgraded recently to 120 km/h in Serbian part, but Belgrade-Budapest HSR line is going from Subotica towards Kelebia in HU, west of Szeged. I think its a pretty stupid decision by Hungarian government not to put Szeged on the main Belgrade-Budapest route, they basically put Szeged as the 3rd biggest city on the 2nd level line.
@FrankyLon4 ай бұрын
@@carick235 It makes more sense if you know the history of the region. Beograd (and Subotica) used to be part of Hungary when the railway lines were built, a direct route was logical, Szeged was more like a regional centre. After World War 1 if I remember correctly it was part of the peace deal that the second track on the main line was lifted (Yugoslavia was scared of a potential Hungarian invasion) and the changes in borders, politics etc. made Szeged more important. Main freight and passenger traffic was moved to the Budapest-Szeged Line and that became main line. The station in Szeged is not a through station, it is dead end, so any attempt to divert the main route that way either would require a new station further away from the city centre or a tunnel underneath the historic city centre. The line also joins from the South in Subotica, essentially turning back towards Hungary, so unless you want to change direction there you need a spur circling the city from North or a triangle at the existing junction and you skip Subotica. Even then, you added quite a few extra miles and most of the traffic (especially freight) is between Budapest and Beograd (and beyond) and not between Beograd and Szeged. Renewing the direct route makes more sense and for the regional traffic between Szeged and Subotica the secondary line can be used.
@amarillorose78104 ай бұрын
This line is not on the Belgrade-Budapest high-speed railline, this is a secondary line connecting Subotica and Serbia with the third largest city in Hungary's Szeged. Operating speed for passenger trains in this railine is 120 km/h but at the moment, maximum speed is not used, but a temporary speed of about 50 - 60 km/h for a number of reasons. The Serbian side has been completely renovated, modernized and electrified but currently, a temporary station is being used in Subotica where there is no electricity due to the works on the high-speed railway, when the reconstruction of the high-speed railway is finished, the speed will increase and new trains are likely to be in use, possible stadler flirts. The Hungarian side is not completely finished, I don't know if their side is fully electrified, they still have to finish their side completely. Another obstacle to speed are border crossings, I do not know how they will be resolved in the future, maybe it will be same as agreed and planed for the high-speed railway (Belgrade - Budapest) to check the documents as on the principle of airports at railway stations in Serbia and Hungary and not at the border crossing.
