This is 83-040, Budapest 5003/1929 at the Kharkov Pioneer Railway in Russia after the second world war. Thanks to Sergei Dorozhkov of Pereslavl Narrow Gauge Museum for the information. More photos of 83-040 at Kharkov may be viewed here.
73-018 scares the waiting horses as it crosses the Travnik to Lasva road near Vitez in August 1965. There were 23 of these Class 73 2-6-2's which were built as light passenger locomotives. This loco is one of three preserved and can be seen at Jablanica. Note the used shell cases filled with flowers above the cylinders.
85-004 about to leave Sarajevo on a train to Visegrad in May 1969.

83-146 on a local passenger train at Capljina in 1968
Narrow-gauge railcar at Capljina in 1968. Tom Burnham remembers: passengers for Dubrovnik had left the standard-gauge train on the opposite side of the platform and were attempting to find space on this train. The seat reservation system had broken down completely!

The Dubrovnik tramway
Two views by Chris Green of the 76cm trams in Dubrovnik in May 1969. The small network ran from the City Gates to the railway station plus a branch to Lapad. The final tram ran on 20 October 1970.
These four views of the Dubrovnik Tramway were sent to me by email. I don't know who to credit them to but I have included them here because of their rarity value. They were all taken at the terminus in Dubrovnik, probably in the early 1960's.
Tom Burnham writes: a small system of 760mm gauge, with a Y-shaped layout - this is at the junction (see point lever in front of the tram). There were two versions of the 4-wheeled trams, one with a slightly more modern styling, running in motor-trailer sets. The afternoons tended to see power cuts, and the trams would regularly come to a dead stop along the Put Marsala Tita.
