The Lower Carniola railway station at the east entrance to Ljubljana was the last before the main railway station. Many Slovene emigrants coming from the east (Dolenjska-Lower Carniola), alighted from the train there and walked through the town to the station in the community Spodnja Šiška, which was not under town’s jurisdiction. There they boarded the train again towards the chosen departure port. Why at Spodnja Šiška? To avoid the municipal police control.
