    Taken on the 28th of May, 1976, on the opening of the Belgrade - Bar (in Montenegro) line. The train itself was used as a way for Tito to travel around the country, as well as to host foreign dignitaries visiting the country, these included Haile Selassie, Yasser Arafat, Nehru, Sukarno, Francois Mitterrand, and Queen Elizabeth.

    The locomotives are JŽ 761 diesels, built in Germany in the 1950s, and they're incredibly beuatiful.

    I never realized it but the old VW Transporter is basically just a full on copy of these trains aesthetics.
