Ostanki obvozne proge Remains of the rail bypass

V redu. Vem, seveda vem za Obvozno, ali kot rečemo mi, domačini, Nemško cesto, tule na severnem koncu Ljubljane, ampak da so Nemci med vojno zgradili, no, bolj pravično rečeno, so dali zgraditi, tudi obvozno železniško progo, dolgo več kot 18 km, od ljubljanskih Vižmarij do Laz pri Dolskem, vse iz istega razloga, namreč, da bi obšli osrednji del prestolnice, ki so ga zavzeli Italijani, tega pač nisem.

Proge seveda že davno ni več, saj so jo porušili takoj po koncu okupacije, na nekdanji 10-metrski stolp, s katerega so opazovali promet na njej, pa spominjajo le še temelji, štirje betonski kvadri.

O.k., I know that Germans built Obvozna cesta [=bypass road] during 2WW (we, locals, still call it Nemška cesta [=German road]) in order to avoid long customs procedures of the other occupying forces, Italians, that took the major part of our capital. But I have not known that there was also a railway bypass built for the same reasons.

The railway was destroyed in the first years after the end of occupation, but there are still four concrete blocks, remainings of the former 10 meters high traffic-watchtower.
