On this day, 13th September 1908, the first locomotive arrived from Bar to Virpazar, and this day is celebrated as the Day of the ŽPCG Society and the Day of the 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 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, and this day is celebrated as the Day of the ŽPCG Society and the Day of the Train Drivers of Montenegro.
On this occasion, we wish all employees a happy Day of the Society and all train drivers of Montenegro their holiday on 13th September.
