Network
The Montenegrin part of the Belgrade - Bar railway is the backbone of the Montenegrin railway system. It opened in 1979, and then was a state-of-the art railway. It has features such as Mala Rijeka viaduct (highest railway viaduct in the world) and the 6.2 km long Sozina tunnel. About one-third of the Montenegrin part of the railway is in tunnel or on viaduct. It is the only railway corridor in Montenegro that is fully electrified.

Developments
The Podgorica - Shkodër railway, which extends to Tirana (Albania), has been used exclusively for freight traffic for some time. There are plans to reconstruct the railway and re-introduce passenger traffic.
