Photo gallery
Railways in Slovakia
Fascinating railway traffic in a beautiful landscape
In addition to the modernized lines, you still find many motifs with
the original flair and the sometimes very attractive railway lines in beautiful countryside.
And as if this isn't enough, there still drive even on secondary routes freight trains, where
passenger traffic was unfortunately discontinued, and this scheduled and not just on demand.
The focus of the photo gallery is clearly on the diesel locomotives of the classes ŽSSK
751 and 752 (nickname Bardotka and Pegas), which enjoy a great popularity among railway
enthusiasts. Thanks to their reliability, there are still a number of these attractive machines
in active service in Slovakia. They are used exclusively in freight train service.
But other diesel and electric locomotives classes aren't missing in the gallery, as well as
the ubiquitous railcars and motor coaches, which form the backbone on the still in the
passenger-operated local service especially on secondary lines.
Some Photos have a corresponding Video clip. If you prefer to see motion instead of
a HD image then you should switch to
Video to photo summary.
There you will find videos which are listed in the same sequence as the photos and
which are uploaded to the Internet. Please note that as starting sequence
only the videos with Slovakian trains are selected, including steam trains
You are welcome to modify as to your personal preference and then rebuild the overview again.
If you want to admire the Japanese Shinkansen high speed trains, please change to the
railway gallery Japan. Also the railway traffic in
Sri Lanka,
Germany,
Slovenia and
Croatia
were joined into a separate national gallery due to the huge choice of available pictures.
All other countries are summarized in the
international photo gallery.
The steam locomotives mustn’t be missing, but they have as well their own national galleries, one is reserved for
German steam trains, another for
Japanese steam train operations.
Although there are only 3 operational steam locomotives in
Sri Lanka, they have their own gallery, because an organized journey
will cause a lot of beautiful pictures in a magnificent landscape.
Chinese factory and coal mine railways were also spun off and joined together in its
China winter steam gallery, because the amount of available photos is simply
too intensive to show them in the regular steam locomotive gallery.
All other steam locomotives and trains pictures are joined together in the
worldwide photo gallery.
Following on from the picture gallery, there are explanations and requirements.
Further pages can be found on the subject of railways, train and locomotives.
No photo gallery? Worth knowing about technology and program
If your operating system doesn’t build the photo gallery, but instead displays a warning
that restricts the display of active content, allow the blocked risk. The navigation,
the selection menus of the photo gallery as well as the control of the gallery pages are
completely written in javascript, which triggers the browser to display this warning.
Furthermore, since version 3.0 the entire screen is designed in container technology with a
maximum of 5 areas, which are set visible or kept hidden depending on the screen width.
Same width also determines how many shots can be shown in a row and automatically adjusts to
it when you refresh the screen, similar to your Windows Explorer. Due to the variable structure
of the gallery, unfortunately, no headings can be given any longer, which area will be
displayed next.
The photo gallery itself as one on the 5 subsections is displayed with dynpro subscreen
technology, means in the screen encircled container 2 other containers are connected in the
top left position. One of these sub-container shows as transparent background image
the two Bardotky 751-059 and 751-076 and their tank wagon train; the other container contains the text.
The wallpaper in the background is fixed with 100% x-axis and 100% y-axis and
3050 pixels, the text container calculates its depth itself. Depending to your screen
configuration, one container is displayed deeper than the other, so there it at the
bottom an overpowering beyond the edge of one of the containers.
In normal cases the wallpaper should finish deeper than the text.
Some patience, please note
The pictures of the photo gallery are extremely compressed to 165 * 110 pixels,
thus very fuzzy, but this is the intention. By clicking the frame you will get the actual size
with an image resolution of 2250 * 1500 pixels and the detailed data to the picture.
You can click the graphics right away, the second screen will open, but it may be that
your Internet browser will load all the photos in the gallery before the single photo
is activated in the zoom. Also note that your computer may issue a warning about active
elements in the background. Without activation and during charging, the zoom screen
remains black, which is not a program error, it is just the background color.
Please be patient. How the photo description is structured and which possibilities
you have in operating the system, is shortly summarized in the
guidance to the photo.
