4K CABVIEW Capljina - Sarajevo - 99 tunnels and 65 bridges - The Neretva River Canyon

The 195km long Sarajevo - Ploče railway line connects the continental part of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the Adriatic Sea coast. This video shows 163km of this railway line through the Bosnia and Herzegovina, between Sarajevo and Čapljina. Short segment of this railway line, from Čapljina to the Port of Ploče, is located in Croatia.

This line is drilled through complicated mountainous terrain, especially between Bradina and Mostar and a significant part of the line follows the Neretva River, from continental to Mediterranean nature. The 99 tunnels along this line have a total length of over 36km. There are over ten long tunnels. The longest is tunnel "Jedrenje" (3239m) and tunnel "Ivan" (3221m). There are more than 60 bridges. The most significant are "Jablanica", "Stara Drežnica", "Tarčins viaducts" and bridges over the Neretva river.

The most scenic parts of the line Sarajevo - Čapljina are along the Neretva River Canyon and over the Bradina Pass. Several dams make large accumulations on the river. The track follows these accumulations and has a constant slope from the Adriatic Sea to the highest point in Bradina. Between Sarajevo and Konjic, the line climbs over the mountain with a few serpentines. These serpentines and a very large slope of 24‰ (total track resistance of 25,9‰) makes the famous "Bradina Pass". At this part of the railway, the largest number of tunnels were drilled in order to overcome the large height difference at the shortest possible distance. The lowest point of the line is 7m at Čapljina and the highest point is 756m at Bradina.

This video recorded from passenger Talgo train number 720 (Čapljina - Sarajevo). Many significant details of the route and train, such as maximum speed, slow order speed, limit speed, location, altitude and objects like tunnels and bridges are shown in the video.

Date of recording:
August 2019.

I'm a South African living in Shanghai, China, watching this awesome video of a place I may or may not ever get to visit. Technology is wonderful! Gorgeous country. Hope I do get to visit some day.

Many times when l was growing up in my homeland of Croatia, my mother told me the stories of growig up in small town of Cvaljina, and of many trips she made to to watch the scenery of my mother's homeland here, after so many years have passed, it really touches me deeply...

Definitivno ovo je jedna od najljepših Jugoslavenskih pruga, uz prugu Beograd-Bar, unsku prugu i prugu dolinom Soče. Veliki lajk. Hvala na dodavanju videa, pravi je užitak gledati.

[Vincent-owlj]

Wow, the effort that went into building this railway. Probably, the best cab ride vid on YT. Thanks for uploading.

[zorankalina]

Ovu prugu..pa unsku na granici Hr i vjerojatno ih ima jos puno
Treba iskoristiti kao turisticke atrakcije...kao i mnoga mjesta na tim trasama
Tu ima tako puno ljepog i zanimljivog
Hvala vam na ideji za poneki vikend....ili kraci praznik....moram prouciti pruge po BiH...i uokolo
Svako dobro ....iz Zg😊👍🍀🎉⛱🔝

[akariyatsusito]

This is something fantastic! Two and a half hours flew by as one, the mountains are incredible, the valleys are magical, the tunnels are stunning in their length! Thank you very much for this miracle! I will be back and will review it more than once, for sure! Hello from Russia!

[georg]

Dusane, napravio si veliki posao sto je zapravo FANTASTICNO I PREDIVNO !!! Hvala ti za ovo predivno putovanje ! Ja sam putovao kao dete od Sarajeva (Mostar-Capljina) do Dubrovnika na uskotracnom brzom vozu u prvom razredu. I vozio sam belim dubrovackim tramvajem.

[bosnahercegovina]

Prelijepo. Ja sam gledao ovakvo putovanja preko YouTube samo kroz Njemačku i Norvešku. Drago mi je da i mi imamo ovakva virtualna putovanja prelijepom našom Bosnom i Hercegovinom. Hvala vam puno na ovakvom užitku i nastavite samo ovako i dalje.

[ReddeadRob]

There's something relaxing about watching these videos. Just sitting back listening to a few podcasts and watching the scenery go by.

[luvinthejazz]

I’m so glad that you didn’t add music to this. The sound of the train was wonderful. Thank you for doing this.

[ЛеонидМакаров-пр]

Я в восторге от поездки!какие виды-фантастика!горы, тоннели, мосты-дух захватывает!спасибо огромное за это виртуальное путешествие, а реальная поездка-мечта!С большим уважением из России!

[hunterpdx]

I have a HTC Vive VR headset and played this wearing good headphones on a virtual desktop setup. Expanding the screen size to the edge of peripheral vision, adding a modest screen curvature and having the display set on headlock (it floats to follow where the head looks) makes a great video even more immersive. Spectacular footage thank you for sharing it with us.

[SKEptic-mgdd]

Thank you for another great glimpse at a beautiful landscape! The time and effort that went into making this smooth two and a half hour ride possible is almost impossible to imagine. Talking about tunneling, bridge-building, track laying and video taping.

[muzhik]

Beautiful country thank you ....greetings from Belo Horizonte, Brazil

[laurenceegan]

This is a wonderful video. I was lucky enough to travel by train on this route from Sarajevo to Mostar a few years ago, and now I can let other people see what I saw when I was there.

[fabianschmid]

I was searching a good cabview from this railway line for a long time. And suddenly my phone rings and I read "The channel making the best cabviews on YouTube ever has uploaded a cabview from Caplinja to Sarajevo". It turned a bad day into a good day. Thank you.

[makieleonor]

Svaka cast i za ovaj video, jos jedan divan podsjetnik na putovanja iz djetinjstva i na prelijepu zemlju❤

[sinanovcina]

Bravo Dulevoz. Kao student Sarajevskog univerziteta iz Dubrovnika, putovao sam 5-6 puta godisnje. Prvi puta vidim perspetivu iz lokomotive. Pukla me nostalija a i trava koju pusim, dok ovo gledam. Fala, ziv bio.
