From the history of Vilnius: a train ran through Vingis Park (photos)

    A train could run instead of the current road from Gel. Wolf streets. There is no place for cars.

  2. Robert says:

    Hitler still rode 😁😁😁 I didn't even know he rode the train😊

  3. nnnLucia says:

    I could build something like that. I and all the children really liked it. That train was smaller than the usual ones.

    • Žilvin says:

      Not much possible these days due to security. Vingios Park has changed beyond recognition, new paths have appeared, and the flow of people has increased a hundredfold. It would be terrible if a child or even a dog didn't fall under the wheels, because you can't stop a train like a car. It would be possible to enclose it with a protective fence, but then the view of the park would be obscured.

    The lack of transport makes the allergy suffer, it probably reminds me of the Soviet era 😃

  5. sword says:

    the current rice-bearded hipsters wouldn't like the train, because I CAN'T

      Trains are not only the greenest, most capacious and in every sense the best means of transport, not only the only truly self-driving (already) means of transport in many cities, but they are also (as far as electric trains are concerned) the most sustainable form of transport.

  6. MikrorajonVibes says:

    That feeling when your city's transportation system and planners were more advanced 100 years ago than they are now 🙁

  7. Peter I says:

    If I know correctly, just before World War II, the railway line was built from the station, past the wolf foot (where it is now near the silicate on the hill, near Riovonii st.) and past the later Velga factory to Vingis. There was still a railway bridge from Neris to Žvėrynas.

    • Žilvin says:

      There were 3 branches connecting at Vingis Park. Coal was transported to the Žvėrynas boiler room on this road. The bridge over the Neris was wooden and was not rebuilt after the destruction of the ice carrier. Now only concrete pillars mark its place.
