This route was of exceptional importance for the former Austrian Empire, since it connected its capital and some important centres of developing industry with the only large seaport in the country. Construction of the Viaduct began in\u00a01850 and ended in\u00a01856. At its narrowest part, the Viaduct spanned over the Borovnica Valley in the length of 561\u00a0metres, and its top part was 38\u00a0metres high. The Viaduct ran in a curve on both sides, with its central section of about 80\u00a0metres running straight. The two-level Viaduct consisted of 24\u00a0columns. They were numbered from 1 to\u00a024 following the direction from Ljubljana to Postojna. There were 25\u00a0arches, 16.75\u00a0metres wide and 15.17\u00a0metres high each, between the columns on the upper level, and 22\u00a0arches, 15\u00a0metres wide and 19\u00a0metres high each, on the lower level. The path leading through vaulted holes in the columns on the top of the lower level was constructed for Viaduct maintenance purposes. With the exception of two larger, double columns, the width of each column was 14.70\u00a0metres at the ground, narrowing towards the top to just under 9\u00a0meters. The width of the two-track line was nearly 8\u00a0metres.<\/p>\n<p>In order to provide a solid foundation for the construction, about 4,000 oak piles were sunken into the soft ground, with column foundations built on top. Columns and arches were made of 31,600\u00a0m<sup>3<\/sup> of processed stone blocks, 31,000\u00a0m<sup>3<\/sup> of crushed stone, and about 5\u00a0million bricks. The construction was supervised by the imperial-royal senior civil engineer named Arcari. For the construction purposes, a brickyard was built nearby. Most of stone blocks were brought from the Podpe\u010d quarry, and a few ones also from smaller nearby quarries. One of them was located above the Zabo\u010devo village, and its remains are still visible. Stone blocks were mostly transported by ox-carts operated by local farmers. Stone blocks weighted up to two\u00a0and a half tonnes (a piece). They were transported by special high carts with large wheels, with a stone mass placed under the cart and lifted off the ground as necessary using screws and nuts. A worked stone piece hung under the cart throughout the ride. In the same way as lifted, the stone was slowly lowered to the ground. According to oral tradition, building materials were transported to a high wooden scaffold by draught animals. Before ascending the scaffold, their eyes were blindfolded to prevent them to be frightened by the height. The foreman had an apron with a large money pocket. Anyone who brought bricks to the scaffold was immediately paid out. Bricks were also carried onto the scaffold by children and women. The Borovnica Viaduct was built without the use of cement.<\/p>\n<p>The stone blocks were connected to each other with iron clamps and these were filled with lead. Both the parapet wall and the fence were artfully and decoratively carved and surrounded by ornaments. The construction took over 6\u00a0years with the cost of 2\u00a0million florins, which would amount to approximately 30\u00a0million euros today.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1032&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680796994196{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680795269974{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Mere Borovni\u0161kega viadukta<br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680708750189{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 5% !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 5% !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680099659236{margin-top: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]In its 25<sup>th<\/sup> issue of June\u00a01851, the newspaper Kmetijske in rokodelske novice wrote (Agricultural and Artisanal News): \u201c<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dlib.si\/details\/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-5023OGVV\/?euapi=1&amp;query='keywords=verhnike@OR@fts=Verhnike''&amp;sortDir=ASC&amp;sort=date&amp;pageSize=25&amp;frelation=Kmetijske+in+rokodelske+novice&amp;fyear=1851\">Correspondent from the Carniolan Region<\/a><\/em><em>. Among such places that will be only put on the map by new times, is Borovnica, beyond Vrhnika, in the corner at the end of the long Ljubljana Moors. Such a railway bridge is being prepared there that has no parallel in any other railway line; it will be over 200\u00a0fathoms long, and 19, or according to the most recent information, even 31\u00a0fathoms high. A lot of work is required to prepare the foundation, because a lot of piles have to be sunken into the mostly soft base and vegetation before the stones can be laid. The construction will actually cover two bridges, one on top of the other; the stones are therefore already being cut in several places, but in a completely different size than for other structures. When this bridge is completed, Borovnica will be as closed as if it were separated from the world; and passengers will watch it from above like a bird flying by. A little further from this big bridge, preparations are ongoing for another bridge, which will not be much lower than the first one, but much shorter. So far, there are about 3,000\u00a0workers engaged in work on the entire route from \u017dalostna gora to Vrhnika; and there will have to be more of them if the work is to be completed soon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Novice newspaper followed the progress of the Viaduct construction and published in its 42<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0issue in May\u00a01854 the following: <em>\u201cCorrespondent from Austrian regions.<\/em><em> In Vrhnika, 21 May. H. What does the railway say in our pages? Is the work accelerating? The main thing here is the big bridge (viaduct) in front of Borovnica; the columns of the lower section are all completed as if cast, they are so beautifully and smoothly carved out of stone. The brickwork is already rising on all of them and curving to arches, where one of them is already closed, and two are almost completed. The bricks for this bridge are, however, specially prepared, they are not of the same thickness, but look like a wedge, thinner at one end. On the lower section columns, between the arches, there are columns erected for the upper section, they are cut out of stone as the lower ones, and the arches on them will also be made of brick. In the middle between the lower and upper sections, a road for ordinary carts will be open and lead to the railway station from the other side. The other two major bridges in this side are also being diligently constructed; namely, in one, in Doli before Borovnica, some columns are already built almost up to the top and some to the middle; and the second bridge, in Blatni dol across the old road above Vrhnika, will be completed in a few weeks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The test drive from Ljubljana to Borovnica was made on 28\u00a0October\u00a01856, just before the arrival of Emperor Franz Joseph. He travelled across the Viaduct during his visit to Postojna Cave. In its 247<sup>th<\/sup> issue, on 22\u00a0October\u00a01939, Jutro newspaper published on page\u00a07 an article on the fate of the Borovnica Viaduct, and wrote, among other things: <em>\u201cEverything was in green, and thousands of lights were lit on the parapet walls, having a fabulous effect on the huge stack of walls in the evening.\u201d<\/em> The Emperor repeated the ride in July\u00a01857, when he travelled to Trieste at the opening of the Southern Railway.<\/p>\n<p>The construction was carried out with inhuman efforts, using rather primitive means compared to today\u2019s options. Nevertheless, in\u00a01856, when the first train passed it, the Viaduct was a real technical and architectural masterpiece. On 30\u00a0August\u00a01856, an Austrian correspondent wrote in Bleiweisove novice (Bleiweis\u2019s News): <em>\u201cThe last arch of the 20-and-a-half-fathom high and 280-fathom long stone-block railway bridge in Borovnica \u2013 Franzdorf \u2013 which is said to have no equal in Europe \u2013 was completed on the 18<sup>th<\/sup> day of this month.\u201d<\/em> This was his announcement of the completion of the Borovnica Viaduct, one of the largest railway viaducts in the then Europe.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Borovnica Viaduct, four smaller ones were built in the immediate vicinity: the Pako Viaduct, Breg Viaduct (today: the Pako Bridge), Jelenova dolina Viaduct, and Dol Viaduct. A railway station, including an engine shed, a turntable, and other auxiliary facilities, was built on the plateau between the Borovnica Viaduct and the Jelenova dolina Viaduct. At the beginning, only a few trains ran through Borovnica, the first stop after Ljubljana, and their weight brought no significant burden to the Viaduct.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gap=&#8221;5&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1036&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680793509964{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680795280118{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> Borovni\u0161ka kotlina, 1857.

As a travelling daguerreotypist from Vienna, he worked in Graz in\u00a01841, then in Zagreb, and in May\u00a01842 in Trieste, where he was one of the first photographers. At the beginning of July of the same year, he arrived in Ljubljana. He had images of architecture and landscapes on display. He set up his temporary studio in Po\u0161tna ulica. He charged his customers 5\u00a0guldens for portraits and 2\u00a0guldens per person for group photos. An advertisement for his studio was published in Carniola newspaper.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a01844, he returned to Graz, where he had his studio on Sch\u00f6ngelgstrasse\u00a0446. He was a landscape photographer known for Views from Steinmark. Until April\u00a01861, he was a member of the Photographic Society of Vienna. In\u00a01864, he took part in the \u201cFirst Photographic Exhibition of Vienna\u201d organised by the Vienna Photographic Society. His photo called the Source of Ljubljanica near Vrhnika is included in the catalogue of this exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>He took photos with a Voigtlander camera, the best camera in the world at those times. It was equipped with Petzval lenses. He used daguerreotype, calotype and ambrotype procedures, and was one of the first photographers using the collodion procedure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1040&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680795034320{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680795303865{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Viadukt Pako, 1857.

The box contains ten photos of the Southern Railway construction: six photos of the Borovnica Viaduct construction, a photo of the Jelenova dolina Viaduct, a photo of the \u0160tampet Viaduct, a photo of the Postojna Railway Station construction, and a photo of the sinkhole near Postojna Cave.<\/p>\n<p>These photos were most likely taken on a glass plate and properly processed, as they should be for a gift to the Emperor.
