Tirana Municipality, announced on Monday the installation of a steam locomotive at New Boulevard, in sign of commemoration of the old train station.

Veliaj promised that the next mandate people will be able to travel to Durrës and Rinas by electric train.

“The new electric train will go to the other side, which is why we put the locomotive on this side. With these opportunities, I believe that within the next mandate we will have the chance to experience the first voyage of the electric train without pollution, from Tirana to Rinas and then from Tirana to Durres. We will have the opportunity to look, where we were, where we are and where we want to go in the future…”

The locomotive placed on the New Boulevard was produced in Poland in 1951 and completed its mission in 1986 in Albania. Initially it served passengers and then freight trains, and will serve to remind people of the railway stations that resemble the stations of life./tvklan.al
