the Bratislav Bullet, the Slovakian Speedtrain, is getting restored for Bratislava to Prague runs


Designed and built in 1936, and decommed in 1952.

Designers made this train that could go at speeds of up to 92 mph in the late 1930s. You know, that's not much, is it? But in the last century trains reached an average speed of 42 mph

The Slovak bullet has an original design of the drive mechanism with electromechanical power transmission, with high efficiency especially at higher speeds


Last year the train was moved from Kopřivnice to Hranice, where the project called Return of the Slovak Missile began. After the general overhaul, the machine should be operable and operate on the route Bratislava - Prague.
