On this day, 13th September 1908, the first locomotive arrived from Bar to Virpazar, marking the launch of the first Montenegrin narrow-gauge railway.
This event marked the beginning of a new era in the transport and economic history of Montenegro.
Since then, the railway in Montenegro has developed and grown alongside its people. This day reminds us that the railway is not just a network of tracks and trains – it is a bridge between cities, people, and stories. At the heart of this system are the locomotive drivers, whose expertise, responsibility, and dedication ensure safe and reliable passenger transport every day.
Therefore, we celebrate this day as the Day of the Railway Transport Society of Montenegro and the Day of the Locomotive Drivers of Montenegro – a day dedicated to tradition, but also to the people who maintain the railway system with their work, heart, and strength.
Thanks to all employees, ŽPCG AD Podgorica continues to develop and provide efficient and reliable passenger transport, connecting tradition and innovation, the past and the future. This day reminds us that every train departing from the station is a symbol of effort, knowledge, and community.
We thank all employees for their dedication and contribution, and we wish the locomotive drivers safe journeys on all the railways of Montenegro.
Happy Day of the Society and Day of the Locomotive Drivers!
