Railroad station and kiosk--Skywatch

Here's the top of Belgrade's main train station, finished in 1884, when the very first train to leave the station departed for Niš (NEESH), Serbia, on August 23rd, 1884.

It was at this station that I first arrived in Belgrade in 1976 to attend a friend's wedding, after a two-day trip from Paris.

Near the entrance now stands the locomotive of Tito's Blue Train, which you can read more about by clicking on the link.

Join SKYWATCH FRIDAY.


(Happy birthday to my newlywed daughter today!!! Mama loves you.)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

 Remember lovle locks? Around the world they were tokens of couples' love for each other, but soon became a pain in the fence for cities...
