Plaque was installed in the year 1998 to commemorate 150th anniversary of arrival of FIRST steam train to Slovakia (20.08.1848). Prior to this date, trains used to be pulled just by horse power in Slovakia.

Train started its journey in Vienna heading Bratislava, through austrian and slovak villages Ganserndorf, Marchegg and Devinska Nova Ves.



Vedla nastupista zeleznicnej stanice v Devinskej Novej Vsi si mozno vsimnut tuto kovovu pamatnu dosku. Bola instalovana v roku 1998 na pamiatku 150.vyrocia prichodu PRVEHO parneho vlaku na uzemie Slovenska.

Tento slavny den svitol 20.augusta 1848, ked sem z Viedne cez Ganserndorf a Marchegg dofucala prva lokomotiva, pokracujuc do Bratislavy. Tymto sa zacina pisat historia strojovej zeleznicnej dopravy na Slovensku.
