	THE DIAKOFTO - KALAVRYTA RACK & ADHESION RAILWAY
		In the late 1880s the mountainous Kalavryta Province was inhabited by some 44000 people whose only access to the northern coast of Peloponnese Peninsula was the poor road linking Kalavryta with Patra through montainous passes.
		It took twice the money to carry a pound of grain from Egion to Kalavryta than to bring it all the way from Russia to Greece.
		Consequently, a concession for building and operating the Diakofto - Kalavryta railway was granted to SPAP, the operator of the Peloponnese metre-gauge system. It took five whole years and 4.8 Mio francs to reach the Kalavryta plateu scrapping the future extension of 90km to Tripolis due to lack of funds.
