From May 24th, 1998, the operation on the railway had started again. The society
of Jizera railway (Sdružení Jizerské dráhy) had leased the railway, the trains and
locomotives. The main goal was not the profit, but the transportation services for the
people from the villages near by. About the traffic had care the GJW society.
From
December 1st 1998 you can not obtain these tickets. The railway felt to Czech Railways
again...
... and is functioning until now.
It was a big success of the villages near by, Society Jizera railway, GJW and others,
to start the operation on the railway again.
The celebration of the traffic
restart had been visited by lot of people. The visitors were invited by traditional music
and magistrate.
And finally the train came....
The god's servants blessed the Jizera railway and the celebration train with the departure
at 10.00. The train with the guests
departed to Harrachov. On the way back the guest stepped out in Kořenov to admire the
photo exhibition from collection of Mr. Jaromír Hejzlar.
... Several pictures from this celebration day.
From Desná without god's servants. The train's crew must help themselves.
Stay in the end station (Harrachov) shorter than by tram.
The way backwards: the long tunel behind Kořenov.
Departure from Kořenov.
... and classical view - the bridge over the river Jizera.
...the same view thousand times and not the same - but allways admired.
