Tito's Blue Train (Serbian: Плави воз, romanized: Plavi voz; Croatian: Plavi vlak; Slovene: Modri vlak; Macedonian: Синиот воз, romanized: Siniot voz) is the popular name[1] of the luxury, former state train of Yugoslav Marshal Josip Broz Tito, president of the former Yugoslavia.[2] More than 60 statesmen and world leaders traveled on the blue train during its service. Some of the surviving rolling stock is now operated as a tourist attraction on the 476-kilometre (296 mi) Belgrade–Bar railway, between Belgrade, capital of Serbia, and Bar, a coastal town in Montenegro.[3][1]
