The track layout in Sarajevo in 1966. The standard gauge line terminated at Sarajevo Novo (new) station at the top. All other lines shown are narrow gauge (schmalspur).
In 1954 a 1Km extension was built to Sarajevo Novo standard gauge station where this photo is taken. It shows 2-8-2 85-043 (Slavonski Brod 30/1940) about to leave with the 09.35 to Hum (arrive 19.56), a journey of 246Km. Above the 6 wheel van on the left can be seen the front a General Motors built Co-Co diesel on a standard gauge train. 7th August 1966.
This is 85-031 (ex SHS 1531, Budapest
5060/1931) after arrival at Sarajevo with the 22.21 from Cacak on 7th August
1966. The building in the background between the narrow and standard
gauge was the new post office.
85-027 is ready to work train 16,
the 17.22 Sarajevo Novo to Ploce - arrive 02.38, 7th August 1966.
85-027 is seen on the section of
track between the old and new stations. 7th August 1966
How could I resist this shot of
83-028 (ex SHS 1328, Budapest 4990/1929) bathed in the evening sunlight
in the old station? 7th August 1966.
0-6-2 tank No.72-011 (Henschel
8580/1908) is busily engaged on shunting duties
in the narrow gauge yard, 11th
August 1966.
Newly overhauled 81-006, an 0-8-0
tank built in Budapest in 1914, waits to return to its home
depot of Zavidovici. This
loco was built with Klien Lindner axles and was identical to the
Budapest/MAVAG type 70 which was
built between 1905 and 1950. A total of 142 were
built and they were also found
in Romania. 11th August 1966.
The sad remains of 185-023 (Arad
110/1901), a Klose system 0-6+4 tender loco. Altogether
Krauss in Linz and Weitzer in
Arad built 45 of this class. Between the wars some machines
had the Klose mechanism removed.
11th August 1966.
