Οδοντωτός Σιδηρόδρομος Διακοπτου-Καλαβρύτων/Diakofto-Kalabryta Rack Railway

The Rack Railway between Diakofto and Kalavryta at North Peloponnese Greece. New Stadler DMU passing the beautiful gorge of Vouraikos river. The line has 22 km length and begins from sea level until Kalavryta city at 750m.

I spent a few weeks touring Greece thirty some years ago, and then to the Edinburgh Festival for August. Along the way I took the rack railway up from Diakofto to the the little village north of Kalavryta and spent the night in the hotel there. I was fascinated at the wonderful village life I observed there in that place. I had a nice meal, got a bottle of retsina, and then just sat around drinking. It was a cold night up there so not much walking outside. It seemed all the village men and their wives came in and the men sat smoking and drinking and playing games. The women all sat at the other end in a group working on their needlework and being fairly quiet. It was a wonderful scene, seeming almost like centuries ago in so many ways. Having gotten quite tipsy I went up to my room and slept very well, and took the train back down to get the overnight ferry to Bari. I think I was the only non-local there that night, but I felt good being in such a charming place. I loved the RUclipss of that train and that village.

Μπράβο Δημήτρη, πολύ ωραίο βίντεο. Την άνοιξη μέχρι τις αρχές του Φθινοπώρου το φαράγγι είναι όλα τα λεφτά. Βέβαια κάθε εποχή έχει την δικιά της χάρη.

I thought the scenery was beautiful too. I've always wondered why balance doesn't become an issue sometimes on the narrow gauge rails.

The abadoned bridge was the old etching of line.Replaced many years ago from new line.The train in 1.51 is the same train in 2.51 which pass behinde me in the tunnel.

Πολύ όμορφο καί με μεγάλο βαθμό δυσκολίας επειδή δεν είχες τρίποδο. Ωραίο το μουσικό θέμα.

Very nice, interesting video - Like :-)

[@megatwingo]

Cool little narrow gauge railway. I like the shot at the abandoned bridge and tunnel. Was that an abandoned line / branch of that railway or was that only a route that this line took in former times?
Thumbs up! :)
