A major new book: "The Narrow Gauge Railways of Bosnia-Herzegovina" has been published by Keith Chester. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking further details about the railways depicted on this website.
These are some of the other websites covering the former
narrow gauge lines of Yugoslavia
This narrow gauge discussion on the Zeljeznice.net forum now has over 120 pages with many interesting photos and maps. The text is in Croatian. Recommended viewing. It is mainly concerned with the lines out of Sarajevo.
The other threads on the Zeljeznice.net narrow gauge discussion group are also well worth exploring
Some of the many classes which worked on the narrow gauge can be seen on this page
