YugoslaviaKolubara: This coal mine has a small network in standard gauge and 900 mm gauge. On standard gauge are still engines of class 62 in use, on 900 mm gauge only electric locomotives from Germany. The class 62 is for shunting in the mine and short line activities to JZ-station. The 900 mm line is connecting the coal mine and the local power plant. Just for special services is 53-017 (0-6-0T, 900 mm, Decauville Paris) in use. It's not allowed to enter the mine area, so you can just take photos on the short lines outside.
On 8th September 2001 53-017, 62-127 and another unknown class 62 were under steam.
