The Southern Railway connected Celje with Vienna in 1846. In 1849 the Southern Railway railway tracks were laid to Ljubljana and in 1857, the tracks were extended on to Trieste. In all three cities, the arrival of the first train was greeted with magnificent receptions on splendidly decorated platforms. The main part of the article focuses on the reflections, feelings and impressions of our ancestors a few years before and after the arrival of the railway in the region now known as Slovenia.
