On a late spring day we took off with SzV to take a few photos of the historic trains in Slovenia. All season, steam trains on the Bohinj route and the Celje - Imeno section of the route between Celje - Grobelno (with a former triangle to Maribor) - Imeno - Savski Marof - Zagreb route are running. Originally Celje should have the Austrian class 25 but lately only the German war locomotive 33-037 is running on both tracks, being pulled between the two territories by an electric locomotive.

Ten years ago, I didn’t consider myself a steam train photographer, but in the past one or two years I managed to take photos of steam locomotives in many different countries so I believe it is worth having a look at my collection:

The somewhat mixed historic train runs regularly between Celje and Imeno. There have long been railways between Maribor - Celje - Zidani Most and Celje - Grobelno - Krapina - Zagreb (with connections to Nagykanizsa - Budapest), but the journey on the curvy and steep railway from Zagreb to Maribor took too long so an alternative was being sought for. The new line was finally built in 1960 connecting the birtplace of Josip Broz Tito, Kumrovec, the later Imeno to the railway network and had daily fast trains between Maribor and Zagreb in the Yugoslavian era. The line connects to the Zagreb - Dobova - Ljubljana railway at Savski Marof and the Zagreb - Zabok - Đurmanec - Grobelno railway at Stranje. This photo has been taken on the common section where the Celje - Sveti Rok ob Sotli and the Celje - Imeno trains travel together; on the Croatian side traffic is only held between Savski Marof and Harmina and between Zabok and Đurmanec, but on the latter line scarce cross-border traffic has been restarted. You can see our photos taken on the Stranje - Zabok line on a previous trip here:

On our way back we shot the train in a horseshoe-like curve which offered the best possible lighting and scenery at this morning hour. The place resembled the Acsa curve on the Aszód-Balassagyarmat line in Hungary.
