Karađorđev Park - Rakovica (Rasputnica Dedinje)
[52/53] (52A3 not shown, ERA 10 2C3 not shown) RS15/3
This section of the Beovoz Beograd suburban network, forming the third side of a triangular junction bypassing Beograd Centar station, has a reduced service compared with the other routes.
There was no service over this route during part of 2014, but the 2014-2015 timetable shows 8 trains per day each way.
Niš – Niš ranžirna – Crveni Krst
[91] (52B3 not correctly shown) RS15/4
Niš ranžirna is a freight yard to the west of Niš, and is connected to both the Niš - Beograd and Niš - Skopje lines via triangular junctions. Trains run from Niš via the east to north curve off the Skopje line, call at the freight yard station at Niš ranžirna (where they wait for 15 minutes and change train number), then run via the south to east curve to Crveni Krst and back to Niš, performing a clockwise loop. Though these trains are clearly intended for members of staff, no objection has been raised to other passengers using them. Total journey time is about 40 minutes.
6300/6301 | 06:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš | ||
6202/6303 | 14:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš | ||
