Banovici Coal Mine - Bosnian Narrow gauge Steam in Spring Sunshine

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.

    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...

    As your comment was so interesting, I've translated it:- "Awesome movie ... Here you can see politicians robbing the country ... All that is used is from Yugoslavia, even labor (poorly paid), and exporting ores at cheap prices from the country. Once Yugoslavia was a full factory and any need to dig for your own needs ... A great movie ..."

    +Kelley Wright Thanks. I believe in 95/96 they were running steam passenger trains on the main line between Sarajevo and Zenica due to war damage to the overhead power wires. Did you see any? More recently, train crews have been bringing their kids for footplate rides at weekends. In 2009, I saw a 12 year old drive one of the big 2-10-0 Kriegsloks at Sikulje, Lukavac!

    This was taken using a Nikon V1, which I castigated as the "worst camera I have ever used" when I was given one to trial when it first came out. I subsequently bought one for a fraction of the RRP off a market stall in Pattaya. After lying around in a cupboard for two years, I finally used in earnest this year.
