3 November 1896 The rack railway over ZbojskáOzubnica cez Zbojskú

To move Tisovec's iron and timber north over the watershed to the Hron, a railway was built from the town up to the Zbojská pass at 725 metres and down to Pohronská Polhora and Brezno. It opened on 3 November 1896 after three years' work. The climb was far too steep for ordinary trains — the gradient reaches fifty metres in every thousand — so a toothed rack of the Abt system was laid between the rails along 5.8 kilometres of it, and locomotives with a cog wheel hauled the trains up. It is the only standard-gauge rack railway ever built in Slovakia, and it has been a national cultural monument since 2008.Aby sa tisovské železo a drevo dostali na sever cez rozvodie k Hronu, postavili z mesta železnicu hore na sedlo Zbojská vo výške 725 metrov a dolu do Pohronskej Polhory a Brezna. Otvorili ju 3. novembra 1896 po troch rokoch stavby. Stúpanie bolo na bežné vlaky priveľmi strmé — dosahuje päťdesiat metrov na každý kilometer — a tak na 5,8 kilometra trate položili medzi koľajnice ozubnicu systému Abt a vlaky hore ťahali rušne s ozubeným kolesom. Je to jediná ozubnicová železnica normálneho rozchodu, aká kedy na Slovensku vznikla, a od roku 2008 je národnou kultúrnou pamiatkou.
