The Diakopto–Kalavryta railway (Greek: Οδοντωτός σιδηρόδρομος Διακοπτού - Καλαβρύτων, romanized: Odontotós sidiródromos Diakoptoú - Kalavrýton) is a historic 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2-in) gauge rack railway in Greece. Located on the northern Peloponnese, it runs 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Diakopto through the Vouraikos Gorge and the old Mega Spilaion Monastery and up to Kalavryta, stopping en route at Zachlorou. Today, the stations infrastructure and rolling stock are owned and maintained by the GAIAOSE and the line infrastructure Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) and passenger trains are operated by Hellenic Train.^[4] At the Diakopto terminus, the line connects with the new standard-gauge Athens Airport–Patras railway; as of 2019^[update] the new track is in place in a cutting through the station yard.

Route

The line starts at Diakopto before entering the gorge of Vouraikos.^[5] Makes stops at the locations "Niamata" (or "Mikrohelidou") and "Triklia". Between Niamata and Triklia there was an old stop (closed in 1960) at the kilometre 8.14 (the old stop Triklia). In the middle of the route, after 12.6 kilometres (7.8 mi), it makes a stop in the village of Kato Zachlorou, while at this point it serves the visitors of the historic Monastery of the Great Cave.^[5] Then, after 18.2 kilometres (11.3 mi) of route, it makes a stop southeast under the village of Kerpini, where you pass, but do not stop at "Kerpini railway station" (formerly "Rallia"), and finally ends in Kalavrita. The line has 9 level crossings (with 6 asphalt roads and 3 dirt roads) of which 3 are guarded (one in Diakopto, one near Kerpini Station and one in Kalavrita).
