MŽ 3-car DMU 712-102 etc. has arrived at Kočani from Skopje on 9 May 2004, and will soon work the 18:50 return service. The recent rain has provided plenty of fresh water for the local duck and chicken population.

MŽ EMU 412-059 etc. stands at Skopje station in the pouring rain on 9 May 2004 ready to work train 2902, the 15:22 to Tabanovci. These four-car 25 kV 50 Hz units work some of the local services on the electrified main line north and south of Skopje. They are identical to units working in Serbia (around Beograd) and Montenegro (around Podgorica). Skopje is a depressing station, particularly in the rain, with minimal cover over the platforms as can be seen. It must rank as the least inspiring principal station in any European capital city.Previous | NextBeyond Veles, the line towards Bitola passes through some interesting rugged limestone scenery. MŽ diesel locomotive 661-241 powers through the vineyards on 11 May 2004 with 5 coaches - and 4 wagons on the rear from Veles.
