Linda Rama: Between Family, Work and Albania’s Future The Korce citizens have no passenger or freight railway service since seven months now.
A defect at the Librazhd area doesn’t allow the trains to reach this station.
But the reality is even worse, since the amortization of the passenger train has made many travelers chose alternative ways.
The train was a cheaper way of traveling, but commodity and speed were far from being compared with other travel methods.
This station will not open again, but it will simply serve as a source for scrap materials. The same will be the fate for the railways that once had the biggest flux of travelers in the southeastern part of the country.
Meanwhile, frequent robberies of the railways for scrap metal have placed the Tirana-Vlore train and its passenger in danger.
The plates that connected the rails with the traverses were removed in the village of Zhame, Lushnje, and the train would risk derailing.
The damage was made for two kilometers, possibly by people who sell them as scrap metal, a phenomenon that has created big damages in the railway lately.
