Скачать или смотреть 2 Crossings next to each other in 2 Different Countries – Bratislava/Kittsee country border (SK)(A)

The Pohraničiarska signálka is a unusual route in Bratislava, located in the Petržalka district. It follows the former strictly guarded Czechoslovakian-Austrian border, which, before 1989, not only separated countries but also two different political-economic blocs: the eastern bloc, under the domination of the USSR, and the western bloc, opposed to communist states. Parallel to it runs Kittsee-Neuriss-Grenzweg Street already in Austria, and both routes intersect the railway line 101 Bratislava – Kittsee – Vienna.

Although the distance between the two railroad crossings is just under 10 meters, they are located in different countries. Therefore, warning devices were built according to significantly different technical and traffic regulations. In Kittsee, four incandescent type signals were installed without bells, while the old relay system in the Petržalka district controls two AŽD 71 signals with mechanical bells.

Shots for this video was captured during a holiday trip on August 17, 2023. Thanks to my friends, especially ‪@niktowsky_‬, for implementation of the logistics plan.
