Villach to Turkey (day 2)

The train journey is being punctuated with numerous passport controls and locomotive changes.
The journey is unpleasant as it's like a sauna. The heatwave continues and there's no respite as it's open countryside and this old train has no air conditioning.
It's also the first train I've been on that has stopped at level crossings to make sure no cars were coming.
Not sure if riding down to Turkey would have been any better!
In Nis there was a change to the electric locomotive to a diesel powered one for the journey towards the Bulgarian border. The train line weaves through a small valley surrounded by mountains on either side and a river.
