The bridge which connects Tsaghveri to Tsemi by Borzhomi-Bakuriani railway line, was designed by the French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel under the order of the Romanovs. The construction was brought to Georgia and installed on the river Tsemistskali in 1902.
Since January 1902, the first “Kukushka” train passed Borjomi-Bakuriani narrow-gauge line. SinFor the movement to high-mountainous areas, a steam engine of “Porter” type was brought from England. Cars of open type were added to the train, which were framed only by handrails. Since 1967, the small-steam engine was replaced by an electric engine.ce then the “Kukushka” serves tourists and the fans of skiing.
