It has been snowing for weeks and social media was flooded with beautiful photos of this area of Croatia when we decided to go here and take some nice photos. During the preceding day of the trip snowing and the winds became more fierce and both the railway and the motorway were closed for all traffic. We still decided to go and test our luck and it payed off: traffic resumed and - to me, at least - unique kind of photos were taken. The job was really difficult: outside of stations it was virtually impossible to get near the track as we got submerged in person-high snow-walls while even the highest ranking roads tested my winter tyres and my driving skills to the limits. At the end of the day we had a wonderful result, but it took some risk-taking and lengthy, ice-cold waits that paid off well.

Lokve is the highest point of the railway at 806 metres above the Adriatic sea. The train is a fast train from Rijeka.

Unfortunately we couldn't take photos of snow ploughs on the line as they did a great job freeing up the railway in the previous days (I can't ven imagine what it was like in the preceding days). You can clearly see the corridor cut by the rotary snow plough in the picture.

The heavy train cut in two halves was brought here by two locomotives that went back to get the other half. From here, a single locomotive will be able to haul the entire train. The train arrived from the Bakar harbour.

Karlovac itself lays well outisde the station so most S-Bahn trains run to Duga Resa, so that Karlovac Centar can be taken as a stop. This is a Zagreb regional train (multiple units going only to Karlovac are designated commuter and have a blue stripe).
