Rail traffic in Serbia - old southeast railway line Niš - Dimitrovgrad - diesel powered freight [4K]

The recording was done on the specific railway line between Niš, Pirot and Dimitrovgrad. Some scenes were taken in the Sićevo gorge, under trains and railway tunnels portals and on steel bridges over the river Nišava. Special video and audio attention is paid to the blending of this train traffic into the surrounding nature and the sounds of nature. The calming sounds of birds on the surrounding trees are disturbed by the arrival of diesel powered heavy freight trains, while trains gradually climbing from Niš to the Serbian / Bulgarian border.
Diesel powered heavy rail traffic at old Southeast European freight rail corridor...
Old EMD, Russian and Czechoslovakian diesel locomotives with variety of freight trains...
Occurrence of local passenger trains in occasional breaks between a lot of freight trains...
Just a small part of the shown scenes:
00:01 under freight train - tunnel portal - steel bridge and other scenes (train wheel bogyes and rails joints gaps sound)
03:44 old Siemens and Halske A.G. devices - old railway signalling sistems - cable line station entrance signal
8:32 diesel locomotive powered freight train with special motor and horns sounds
10:08 mantis on the rail :)
20:00 bridge under the bridge
32:42 Dimitrovgrad - railway border station between Serbia and Bulgaria and Bulgarian electric locomotives
48:53 train meetings near Niš and in Ostrovica station (Sićevo gorge)
01:01:48 tunnel portals - under train scenes
01:10:34 specific diesel locomotive starting and acceleration
01:28:24 Pirot train station - station master
01:34:33 Optima Express agency train (passenger train from Villach to Edirne, Austria to Turkey)
Special scenes and video material was collected during 4 years (from 2017. to the end of 2021)

Dear Dusan, I must congratulate you (again) for this ultimate masterpiece and amazing job, and thank you for sharing it with the railfans community all over the globe! Not only trains, but simple daily scenes, atmospheres and emotions... to me, watching your videos after a long harassing day at work is a THERAPY. Take care and keep it up, Cheers from the French Alps 👍

[@NikolausUndRupprecht]

Thank you for these tranquil videos of calm railway traffic! I enjoy watching them.

[@dulevoz]

You're welcome and thank you very much!

[@tzadik36]

That's a great video! Great videography in all its aspects. Thank you! With all the old equipment still in place, it is invulnerable to cyberattack.

Једна од најлепших железничких пруга у Србији🇵🇱🇷🇸💓

Another of your excellent videos. Loving all the trains and those working with them. drivers and station staff. Also the fantastic scenery. Mostly fine days as well. Great work. Looking forward to more.

Ah ta zelena lokomotiva JŽ, celo detinjstvo sam se vozio sa njom. Negotin- Zaječar - Niš. Hvala ti na svim videima što deliš sa nama.

Excellent video, and a nice selection of locos & trains.

[@lorirocks777]

Hi Dulevoz I was wondering if you would be interested in exchanging a video to mix things up a bit? I could send you a nice video from the RhB railway and you could send me a video from Serbia. What do you think? Greetings, Lori

[@BoredSquirell]

I'd love to see this. A collaboration between my favorite Swiss and Serbian railway channels.

[@AWSmith1955]

@11:45 were the portals of the steel arch bridges modified and raised for higher train clearance? And it is remarkable how clean the steel is on these bridges, Almost like they are brand new.

[@BorisBozhinov]

Another great video! Nice to see a few BDZ appearences! Cheers from Sofia, Bulgaria! :)

[@kostashikolarev3940]

Excellent video, thank you! I hope that some day you will repair and electrify this beautiful line between Nis and Dimitrovgrad, which is at very bad condition now. Nature is beautiful always, especially Sicevo Gorge. Greetings from Bulgaria! :))

[@gyorgyzoltan7007]

Electrify?? 🤣🤣🤣 Then you say nature is beautiful. A railway line is beautiful if its NOT electrifyied!! You destroy everything with ugly wires poles 🤮🤮. This line is beautiful as it is!! No need to electrify it!!

[@kostashikolarev3940]

@@gyorgyzoltan7007, you mean that diesel locos are more nature frendly than electric locos? Are you sure?! :))))And this line is a main corridor between Europe and Asia, and just for that it`s very important to be electryfied and modernized - to have more capacity and efficiency. Just for example - Swiss lines are electryfied nearly 100% - tell me, but, be honest - did the swiss nature suffered from that? I don`t think so...

[@gyorgyzoltan7007]

@@kostashikolarev3940 You can tell me anything you want about electrification. I have been photographing trains about 20 years now , and I hate electric locomotives , I hate how an electrified railway looks! A simple Diesel line will always be more scenic more rustic and relaxing , you will always get more beautiful pictures. That is what I wanted to say. If someone likes electric stuff its ok with me , just dont force it!

[@kostashikolarev3940]

@@gyorgyzoltan7007, the problem it`s all yours - you can hate electric locos whatever you want. But, as I sayed early, this line is a main corridor and some day will be electryfied, no matter you like it or not. And the nature will be beutiful with this line even more. If we`ve lessened people like you, today maybe we will still be running on a steam power.

[@gyorgyzoltan7007]

@@kostashikolarev3940 I told you , you can argue as much as you want. Nothing will change me! And yes , if people would have listened to sombody like me , the world would be a better place!

Dušane, svaka ri čast na videu, prevazišao si sam sebe. Neverovatni kadrovi. Na delu smo videli upotrebu takzvanih likovnih znakova. Ono postrojenje verovatno je od pre Drugog svetskog rata i neverovatna činjenica da to sve još uvek radi. Zanima me i koliko dana je trajalo snimanje ovog videa? Nisam video da piše da je materijal prikupljan u zadnje četiri godine.

[@janezblond5335]

O, zelo atraktivni posnetki prelepe narave. S tem se ne more meriti ne Avstrija, ne Švica, kvečjemu morda Rumeni in Rdeči vlak v Franciji ali v Pirenejih in celo (zelo sem presenečen nad tem) nekdanja Vzhodna Nemčija (DDR). Prelepo. Naredite še kak posnetek iz strojevodjeve kabine (4 k CAB VIEW), podobno kot Niš - Dimitrov Grad (na srbski meji). Poleti in na sončen dan. Ali pa proga do Zaječara, dopoldne in poleti. Tam je lepo kot v nacionalnem parku. Gorata odmaknjena pokrajina, kjer pa vseeno živijo ljudje. Vsaka čast vztrajati v taki samoti. To je zame prava kultura. Kako butast je YT v EU, Slovenija. Vtipkaš Zaječar in nima pojma, kaj bi to bilo in podčrta napako, četudi si jo že dodal v slovar. Omejenci in njihova butasta, scenzurirana in zapredsodkana na kup napraskana zbirka zelo pomanjkljivih podatkov, ki ji ti bedaki pravijo inteligenca.

[@zoltanfilep2646]

@dulevoz Hello I am searching for railway stations, which still have working mechanical signal systems, mechanic semaphores. Your videos helped me to find some of them is Serbia, thank you for that. I know, there is some stations, which have these systems in the Novi Sad-Bogojevo-Subotica, Pancevo-Kikinda, Pancevo-Vrsac and the Kraljevo-Rodnica lines too. Could you tell me, which other lines have still these kind of systems? The simple signal devices, which is shown at 53:54, and 1:36:42 is interesting too. Could you tell me, if there any of them in other lines in Serbia?

are many of the horns fouled or are they supposed to be dual tone?

[@tzadik36]

Even Amtrak has some dual tone horns.

[@atraindriver]

Two-tone horns are pretty much standard across Europe. Some countries have a single-tone horn and a whistle instead though.

What does this red flag that the interlocking staff shows to the driver mean?

Sve te zelene lokomotive deluju kao da nisu nikada oprane, već se mažu naftom i čađi još od ‘70-tih godina prošlog veka. Pere li se to ikada?

Koliko je železnica zaostala pomerajući ručno skretnice zar nisu mogli da automatizuju te skretnice. Rampe spusaju još ručno.

[@karlderkafer1932]

[@tzadik36]

A red flag here in the US of A would mean "stop". Those trains seem to keep on going through red flags. Maybe red flags mean something different there.

Same here in Britain. Every country has its own rules and procedures, though...
