European Railroad Discussion > Train time at Koper

During the summer there are a number of seasonal workings to and from the resorts on the Slovenian and Croatian Adriatic Coast. One such is the RG1604 20:03 Koper to Maribor (arr 01:23) which also conveys a chair car, couchette and sleeping car to Budapest Deli (08:59).

Here are some shots of RG1604 as it awaits its on time departure this evening

The loco is one of Slovenian Railways (SZ) class 363, built by Alstom in 1976. The man in the day glo shorts talking to the driver is the wheel tapper ( yes, really!).

There's a baggage car, which is primarily for bikes, indeed it was well loaded with a variety of bikes.

Unsure of the origin of the Slovenian equipment, back in Yugoslav days there was an indigenous passenger car building industry. The Hungarian MAV stock is from the DDR, the builders plates are still attached.

Finally there's a short sequence of the train leaving.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see all the open windows. Are the cars air conditioned? Clean inside?  My exposure to open windows were MP54s on the Paoli local. Could get warm and a little dusty at times.

Wow a 363 on a passenger train - very cool! Surprised at how long the train was.

No air conditioning, most definitely quite warm on a day like today.

I've seen this train for the last three days, a 363 each day. I didn't think they had any regular passenger workings anymore.

This morning's Ljubljana to Rijeka (Croatia) service ran as two sections, the sleeping cars from Stuttgart and Munich were the first section, the chair cars from Ljubljana were the second.

Two sections on a passenger train in 2024, that's impressive
