Banovici Coal Mine - Bosnian Narrow gauge Steam in Spring Sunshine #bosnia #bosniansteam #steamloco

No need to chase this engine. It only moves at walking pace, so my driver Jaz slept all day whilst I trudged in the mud. And he still wanted to be paid.

Ex JZ 25-30 0-6-0 (CDK #2530, 1949) pushing and pulling rakes of tipper wagons thru the loading point of the washery and past some heavy duty welding on the Banovici Coal Mine 760 mm narrow gauge network. April 2014, just before the deluge that cut Banovici off from the main line at Živinice.

A permit to visit the mine costs €15 or BM30 on presentation of your passport, which is available from the office at the main depot a few kilometres up from the washery. Buy a season ticket and lots of pivo for the friendly train crews.

Fascinating little video. Poor old steamer wheezing away!

Strasan film... Ovdje se vidi kako politicaki pljackaju zemlju... Sve sto se koristi je iz Jugoslavije, cak i radna snaga(slabo placena), a izvoze rude po jeftinim cijenama iz zemlje.. Nekada je Jugoslavija bila puna fabrika i bilo je potrebno kopati za sopstvene potrebe... Strasan film...

Powerful little buggers those shunting engines. The draught horse of the rail yard. Breaking down and making up rail wagons all day everyday

I was there in 95-96 with IFOR. Picture of me somewhere with me in the cab with all my gear. Seems like there was a 14 or so year old kid who was the fireman and had to keep the steam up. He looked like he hated the job I would love to have done at that age.

Neat operation going on there, great video.

4:00 cutting towards the acetylen and oxygen hoses. Great idea.

760mm is what we in the USA know as 30" 2'-6" (762mm).
