TEHNIČKO I ARHITEKTONSKO NASLEĐE NA PRUZI MAJDANPEK – BOR

Apstrakt. Kraj 19. veka i prva polovina 20. veka bila su turbulentna vremena za Srbiju, koju su karakterisali brojni ratovi i značajne promene granica i državnih uređenja. Tokom ovog perioda, železnička mreža u Srbiji doživela je značajan razvoj. Nakon završetka pruge Beograd - Niš, pruga Prahovo-Zaječar završena je pre Prvog svetskog rata. U toku rata 1915. pruga je proširena do Knjaževca, a do 1922. godine završena je cela pruga Prahovo - Niš. Železnička mreža u istočnoj Srbiji u potpunosti je izgrađena 1972. godine otvaranjem pruge Majdanpek-Bor, koja je povezala železnice istočne Srbije sa prugom Beograd - Niš. Ovaj deo pruge izgrađen je na teškom planinskom terenu. Zato su izgrađeni brojni mostovi, tuneli i vijadukti, koji prugu čine izuzetno privlačnom za putovanje. Težište ovog rada je da predstavi železničko i graditeljsko nasleđe pruge Majdanpek - Bor, istraženo tokom našeg putovanja ovom trasom.

TECHNICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE ON THE RAILWAY MAJDANPEK – BOR

Abstract. The end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century were turbulent times for Serbia, characterized by numerous wars and significant changes in borders and state constitutions. During this period, the railway network in Serbia underwent substantial development. After the completion of the Belgrade-Niš railway, the Prahovo-Zaječar railway was finished before World War I. During the war in 1915, the railway extended to Knjaževac, and by 1922, the entire Prahovo-Niš railway was completed. The railway network in Eastern Serbia was fully realized in 1972 with the opening of the Majdanpek-Bor railway, which connected the Eastern Serbian railways with the Belgrade-Niš railway. This section was primarily constructed across challenging mountainous terrain and featured numerous bridges, tunnels, and viaducts that enhance its appeal to travellers. The focus of this paper is to present the railway and architectural heritage of the Majdanpek-Bor railway, as observed during our travels along this route.

Keywords: history of Serbian railways, railway infrastructure, railway heritage.
