Sargan Eight

The Šargan Eight is a narrow gauge heritage railway in Serbia, running from the village of Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi station. A extension to Višegrad in the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is finished on 28 August 2010.

The railway with a gauge of 760 mm was an important part of the former narrow gauge main line from Sarajevo to Belgrade and closed in 1974. Between 1999 and 2003 the section over the Šargan pass was rebuilt by the Serbian Ministry of Tourism and the Yugoslav state railway JŽ, now the Serbian railways, Železnice Srbije, with great help of Emir Kusturica, famous film director, whose town Drvengrad was built near Šargan Eight station on Mokra Gora.
