Obscure services

Pula – Pula "obala" [90] (45A1) HR04/1

All Pula trains (except for the first morning departure and the international trains) are advertised locally to extend to / start back from Pula "obala" (4 minutes after / before Pula times), which is the first ca.400 metres of the harbour line. Trains terminate and start close to where the Police launches are moored, before the line curves sharply to the right.

Čulinec and Sesvete – Zagreb Klara via Ranžirni Kolodvor Zagreb (46A1, not shown) HR04/2

The following staff trains operate via goods lines to the east and south of Zagreb to serve the main freight yards at Ranžirni Kolodvor Zagreb. They are shown clearly on the arrival and departure sheets at Zagreb Glavni Kolodvor, and call at all stations and block posts and also several times in the yard areas. The outward journey from Zagreb Glavni Kolodvor runs direct via the Čulinec - Zagreb Resnik curve then through the middle of the yars area. On the return the trains run via the southern part of the yards then via the east curve from Zagreb Resnik to Sesvete. For a map of the area see www.bueker.net/trainspotting/maps_zagreb.php. No problems have been experienced by enthusiasts travelling on these trains.
