Diesel and Ice, Slovakia 2017
This winter brought snow in early January and considerable cold weather to preserve it. Therefore, I went to the Slovakian mountains to catch some diesel action in the fresh snow. As always, Zvolen based “brejlovci” action lifted my mood despite the cold temperatures outside.

Zvolen osobná railway station (Slovak: Zvolen osobná stanica) is the main passenger station serving the town of Zvolen in central Slovakia. The station is named osobná stanica (passenger station) to differentiate it from Zvolen nákladná stanica, a large freight terminal a short distance east, which is also served by some local stopping trains. Zvolen mesto is located nearer to the town centre.
Two railways were built in 1871-1872, and Zvolen became an important railway hub and important industrial centre. The replica armored train Hurban is displayed close to the station.

Railways of Slovak Republic (Železnice Slovenskej republiky, ŽSR) is the state-owned railway infrastructure company in Slovakia.
The company was established in 1993 as the successor of the Československé státní drahy in Slovakia. Until 1996 it had formal and since then a de facto monopoly on railroad transportation in the country.

In 2005 this new company was further split into Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko, a. s. (ZSSK) providing passenger services and Železničná spoločnosť Cargo Slovakia, a. s.

Zvolen; Hungarian: Zólyom, German: Altsohl is a town in central Slovakia, situated on the confluence of Hron and Slatina rivers, close to Banská Bystrica. With its ancient castle, the town has a historical center, which represents the seat of an okres (Zvolen District).
Zvolen has been inhabited since the Paleolithic. In the 9th century, a Slavic settlement (today the Môťová neighborhood) became a regional center of what is now central Slovakia. Zvolen remained the capital of Zólyom county until the 1760s. In the 11th and 12th centuries, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, Pustý hrad, was constructed. The town, originally built under the castle, lay on an important trade route (Via Magna) from Buda to Kraków. Zvolen was granted town privileges by King Béla IV in the 1230s - as one of the first towns in the Kingdom of Hungary. The privileges were confirmed on December 28, 1243, after the original document was destroyed in war. Later, King Louis I the Great built a new castle, which became a popular hunting resort of the Hungarian kings. The future queen regnant Mary of Hungary and emperor Sigismund celebrated their wedding there in 1385.
In 1848-49, Ľudovít Štúr was a member of the Diet, with Zvolen as his constituency. In 1871-1872, two new railways were built and Zvolen became an important railroad hub and important industrial center. Zvolen played an important role during the Slovak National Uprising. Two of its armored trains, which were made in the local railway manufactory, Hurban and Štefánik can be seen near the Zvolen castle.
Zvolen is an important railroad, an important road hub and has a large timber factory and a technical university. An airport in nearby Sliač offers direct flights to Prague. The town square was modernized in 2002 and local businesses are popular with tourists. In wintertime an ice rink is constructed in the center and festive celebrations run throughout December.

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia, and with a population of about 450,000, the country's largest city. The greater metropolitan area is home to more than 650,000 people. Bratislava is in south-western Slovakia, occupying both banks of the River Danube and the left bank of the River Morava. Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital that borders two sovereign states.
The capital of Slovakia is the eighth best city for freelancers to live in, mostly because of fast internet and the low taxes. In 2017, Bratislava was ranked as the third richest region of the European Union by GDP (PPP) per capita (after Hamburg and Luxembourg City). GDP at purchasing power parity is about three times higher than in other Slovak regions.

Fast train? It's all relative in Slovakia | Banská Bystrica to Bratislava
I've had a great time exploring both the High and the Low Tatras, but today it is time to get the R838 Urpín to Bratislava. The R stands for rýchlo, which is Slovak for fast. As it turns out, this is probably the slowest fast train I've ever been on.
However, the seat was comfortable and the coach was beautifully turned out. And the Slovakian countryside, towns and stations were great to watch out of the window as we went along. So all in all, I had a pretty good ride.

Trams, Trains and Boats of Britislava (Slovakia)
With time on my hands before embarking on our evening Danube dinner cruise I took the opportunity to explore the town, including riding the trams and spending time watching trains at Central station. I saw a number of different types of tram in operation, but it was the trains that really captured my eye, most were locomotive hauled. There were plenty of different locomotives in a range of liveries, including the very stylish ZSSK: 240 Laminátka (Laminate lady) electric locomotives built 1967–69 by the Škoda Works. Finally we made our way to the Danube where our boat was waiting to take us on a very pleasant cruise into Austria past castles and attractive river bank towns and villages.
