On this day, 13th September 1908, the first locomotive arrived from Bar to Virpazar, marking this day as the Day of the ŽPCG society and the Day of Train Drivers of Montenegro.
From the first passenger transport by railway, the birthday of European railways, on 27th September 1825, when the English engineer and inventor George Stephenson tested his steam locomotive on the Stockton – Darlington line, to the arrival of the first train on the Austro-Hungarian railway in the territory of present-day Montenegro, seventy-six years have passed. Seven years later, in 1908, the first Montenegrin narrow-gauge railway Bar – Virpazar was put into operation.
On this day, 13th September 1908, the first locomotive arrived from Bar to Virpazar, marking this day as the Day of the ŽPCG society and the Day of Train Drivers of Montenegro.
On this occasion, we wish all dear colleagues railway workers and train drivers of Montenegro a happy day in the 115th year of railways in Montenegro and the 15th anniversary of the establishment of Željeznički prevoz Crne Gore AD Podgorica, as well as to continue their work professionally, responsibly, and safely.
