Borjomi-Bakuriani railway "Kukushka"

Kukushka (Georgian: ბაკურიანი-ბორჯომი რკინიგზა "კუკუშკა") is a railroad between Borjomi and Bakuriani in Georgia, Eurasia. The construction of this 900 mm (2 ft 11 7⁄16 in) narrow gauge line began in 1897 and because of the difficult environmental conditions, lasted for four years. Since January 1902, the first "Kukushka” train passed Borjomi-Bakuriani narrow-gauge line. Since then the "Kukushka” serves tourists and the fans of skiing. For the movement to high-mountainous areas, a steam engine of "Porter" type was brought from England. Cars of open type were added to the train, which were framed only by handrails. Since 1967, the small-steam engine was replaced by an electric engine from Škoda Transportation, Czechoslovakia.
