4K CABVIEW Resnik - Pančevo (Belgrade Railway Junction - freight train ride)

As all important railway lines meet in Belgrade, the Belgrade Railway Junction (BRJ) is the most important, complex and largest railway intersection on the Serbian railway network. The BRJ consist of 17 stations, 11 intersections, 10 rail tunnels and 4 large railway bridges over the rivers.

Considering that the construction of the BRJ has never been fully completed as it planned, the lines for the passenger and freight traffic are not fully separated in the central city area. Freight trains run on almost all lines of the BRJ. As the construction of a new railway line between Belgrade and Novi Sad is currently underway, freight trains on the most important railway transit route between the south and the north of the country had to change their route. These changes force much of the freight rail transport towards the Pancevo Railway Junction. Due to these changes, it is interesting to take a freight train ride through the central part of the city.

This video shows the cab ride from Resnik (the BRJ southernmost station), to Pancevo main station (the first and main station of the Pancevo Railway Junction). So, this is the ride from suburban part of the city, through and under the urban parts and again towards the suburban of Belgrade. The ride is 35km long and takes place through the two longest rail tunnels of the BRJ. These are the tunnel "Vračar" (3510m long) and tunnel "Dedinje" (3086m long). Passing through these tunnels may be the most interesting part of the video. Particularly interesting is the tunnel Dedinje as well as passing through the underground passenger station Vukov spomenik, below one of the central parts of the Belgrade. The ride also takes place through several other tunnels, due to the complexity of the connections at this railway junction. Also, there is a crossing of the Danube river (old steel railroad bridge "Pančevački most") and crossing the Tamish river, near Pančevo.

For this train ride it is used an intermodal freight train and all relevant details about the train, the locomotive, the route and during the ride, are shown in the video.
