- Belgrade–Niš Line
Serbia’s first main line squeezes through the Grdelica Gorge on stone viaducts. Corridor X’s slowest link, now rebuilding for 200 km/h.
Wikipedia ↗ - Niš–Zaječar railway
The Timok valley line, finished in 1922 by Russian emigre labour through nineteen tunnels in the Svrljig gorge, and still the only rail link between Niš and the eastern border country.
- Kraljevo–Rudnica railway
Up the Ibar valley past Mataruska Banja and Josanicka Banja, on rails completed in 1931 to carry ore north out of the Ibar mines, and the only atlas line for a hundred kilometres in any direction.
Scenic (1)
- Belgrade–Bar Railway
254 tunnels, 435 bridges and the vertigo-inducing Mala Rijeka viaduct. Yugoslavia’s engineering swan song.
