VISEGRAD, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Bosnia and Serbia restarted an old steam-powered train Saturday in an effort to increase tourism in a region that was devastated by war in the 1990s.

Thousands of people gathered in the eastern Bosnian town of Visegrad to greet the train on century-old, narrow- gauge rails as it ended its 26-mile journey from Mokra Gora station in Serbia.

The narrow-gauge rail line once connected Belgrade with Sarajevo and Dubrovnik in Croatia, but it was closed in 1974.
