@alan@en.osm.town in addition to historic reasons (Ottoman Bosnia until very late 1800s, mostly Italian/Venetian Dalmatia until Napoleonic wars), the mountains along the eastern Adriatic coast and pretty much all of Bosnia were a real obstacle to railroad construction too

@mejs@mastodon.vladovince.com Reading up on it now, I see that the Lika line was not completed until 1925 - I hadn't appreciated that it was so late, well after there was a line through Herzegovina as far south as Trebinje as shown on the map (even if that was narrow gauge). Also interesting to see the dense network between Timișoara and Belgrade.
