THE RAILWAY
STATION
For a
long time it had been regarded as one of the most beautiful stations in
the Balkans, but suddenly it all changed. Today it is the most destroyed
station in Europe. The Sarajevans remember it as the place from which
convoys with women and children left the city. In one direction only.
The tracks are full of destroyed and burnt out carriages. In 1995, lacking
other means of public transportation, the railway transportation was re-
established. It operated between three city districts and the carriages
were pulled by trucks. The length of the line was 5 kilometers and the
ride lasted 30 minutes.
