In collective memory of the people of Split and the Dalmatian zagora is the first and last railroad that connected Split and Sinj, in the period between 1903 and 1962.That narrow-gauge railroad will be remembered by it's slow ride (45.5 kilometers in 3 hours), impressive terrain it went through (the big climb along Klis and Rupotine), numerous accidents and a song (rera - Sinj's folk tune) that could be heard far and wide from the composition. In it's short, but tumultuous history it was a part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, simultaneously Italy and the NDH during World War II (when it suffered through many diversions and sabotage) and lastly the SFR Yugoslavia.It's responsible for the development of Sinj, Split and many other places it went through. On Sunday, September 30th 1962. pointsman Marko Grbeša signaled the final departure of "Rera" from Sinj. After that he stated that it was the saddest day of his life, and that a part of him died that day.
In the second episode, along with interesting anegdotes from "Rera's" history, I talk about Vetmina's bridge, tunnels of the Three Kings and Gornja Rupotina, aswell as the railroad stations, Klis, Dicmo and Sinj.
