Durrës–Tiranë railway

The Durrës–Tiranë railway is a railway line which initially joined the two biggest cities in Albania: Durrës and Tirana. The line connects to the Shkodër–Vorë railway halfway in Vorë, and to the Durrës-Vlorë railway in Durrës. As of September 2013, the Tirana end of the line was dismantled as the Tirana station was torn down to make way for the lengthening of the Tirana main boulevard. As a result, passenger to and from Tirana had to initially use the Vore station in 2013, and later the renovated Kashar station in May 2015. The Kashar-Tiranë section of the line was replaced with a bus service. The Durrës–Tiranë line was built during 1948-1949 based exclusively on work of volunteers and was the second passenger railway in Albania after the Durrës-Peqin railway which had been completed a year earlier. It is operated by Hekurudha Shqiptare.
