The Train in the Snow is a classic of children's literature in Croatia written by Mato Lovrak. In the 1970s, the adaptation was done by Mate Relja and instantly became a classic of Croatian cinema.
These days the book and movie are considered part of Croatian cultural heritage and collective memory, which influenced a generation of children teaching and celebrating the values of harmony, work and unity.
The novel is part of mandatory primary school reading and the movie was screened as a part of UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage in 2019. Today, the train composition used in the film is part of the Croatian Railway Museum.
