The Legendary train “Moutzouris”
The historic railroad Volos - Milies, the train of Pelion, as it is more commonly known, was built in two stages from 1894 until 1903.
The now legendary "Moutzouris" linked the commercial industrial center of Volos to the rich and fertile area of West Pelion, on the slopes and the olive groves of the mountain of Centaurs.

By 1950, the train with the Belgian machines "Milaiai", "Jason", “Pelion", "Volos", "Tsagarada" and its wagons, with smaller engines, served the needs of the city as a tramway for the public transportation in Volos.
For 80 years it has been a benchmark for the region.
After its repeal in 1971, various attempts were made to reopen as (of museum character) a tourist train in an environment of exceptional natural beauty. After major reconstruction work at a part of the infrastructure, it went back into operation in 1996.

The original construction
On December 16, 1894 began the engraving and construction works of the line and in October 12 of the following year, opened the part Volos – Lehonia, length of 13 km, with an iron bridge above Anavros torrent and with a reinforced concrete bridge, the first in Greece, above Vrychonas torrent, outside Lehonia.
Around 1900, it was decided the expansion of the line up to Milies and in 1903 that part was ready. The line Lehonia – Milies of length of approximately 16 km, with a maximum incline of 28 per thousand, was a very difficult technical task, with many bridges (6 double-arched stone bridges, three-arched, 4-arched, one five-arched and a metal) with retaining walls, tunnels, abutments, aerial walkways etc, all masterpieces of architectural design and construction, in perfect harmony with the environment, representing the style and the feeling of that era, where the technique was perfectly matched with the sensitivity.
