Tratovy usek Cervena Skala – Margecany je jedna z najkrajsich a technicky najnarocnejsich zeleznicnych stavieb na Slovensku. Na tomto useku, ktory je dlhy 93 kilometrov sa nachadza devat tunelov s celkovou dlzkou 3800 metrov, dalej 281 mostnych objektov, 60 cestnych nadjazdov a 70 rurovych priepustov. Najexponovanejsi usek trate vedie od Telgartu takzvanou telgartskou sluckou za Besnicke sedlo. Trat tu musela prekonat prudke stupanie z udolia Hronu v Telgarte (880 m.n.m.) az na sedlo Besnik (994 m.n.m.) vzdialene len 3,7 km. Tato spiralovita slucka je na nasom uzemi unikatnou zeleznicnou stavbou. Meria celkovo 2300 metrov a trat nou prekonava vyskovy rozdiel 31 metrov. V jej spodnej casti sa nachadza oblukovy tunel Kornela Stodolu s dlzkou 1239 metrov. V hornej casti slucky prekonava trat udolie Telgartskym viaduktom, ktory je vysoky 22 a dlhy 86 metrov. Dalej trat pokracuje 18 metrov vysokym a 114 metrov dlhym Chramosskym viaduktom do Hronskeho tunela (dlzka 250 metrov) a dalej cez Besnicky tunel, ktorý je najvyssie polozenym zeleznicnym tunelom na Slovensku (955 m.n.m., dlzka 848,5m).
