Slovenian Spanka at Nova Gorica 2009-06-18--008

Slovenske železnice (Solvenian Railways, SŽ) 664-116 (with the UIC number 92 79 2 664 116-2) stands at Nova Gorica at the head of PTG Tours' "Slovenian Spanka".

This was Day 2 of the six-day tour (I only travelled on Days 2 to 5), which started at Jesenice (although we boarded at Bled Jezero). From here, the train made a return trip over the non-passenger cross-border line to the Italian part of the town (Gorizia); once back in Slovenia and having reversed again, it then continued southwards to Sežana, doing the branch to Ajdovščina (which had a very limited passenger service) on the way. After a loco change at Sežana (to 644-012), we continued to Villa Opicina in Italy (where the local shop did good business selling ice creams while the loco ran round), and then returned to Slovenia via the freight line to Štanjel. Reversing again, we returned to Sežana for a run via the Divača avoiding line and down to Koper and back; the day ended at Divača (where the Orient Express Italian restaurant did very good business).

The Jugoslav 664s were assembled at Đuro Đaković in 1984 and 1985 to a design by Electro-Motive Diesel in the USA. Following the split of JŽ, the Croatian (HŽ) locos became class 2062, but the 664 classification was retained elsewhere.
