Our affectionately named “Grumpy Diesel” pulls away from Sereď station for the final run to Bratislava, bringing to an end this most enjoyable tour of Slovakia, during which we traveled over standard, broad and narrow gauge tracks with a variety of locomotives, steam, diesel and electric, we even experienced standard and narrow gauge rack railways.
The sun is hanging like a massive orange ball in the sky as we once again travel along a single track cross country line, this time to Trnava where we pick up the mainline. At Bratiaslava we leave our train to gather on the platform, where our “Railway Touring Company” guide bids a fond farewell and thanks our excellent hosts “The Albatros Klub” on our behalf for a truly memorable tour.
Finally we finish with a look back at some of highlights from this extraordinary, meandering adventure through some of the finest scenery to be found anywhere in Europe.
