Oskova Washery

Although all line work on the Banovici coal railway in Bosnia is covered by diesels, steam still has a role to play in hauling wagons through the unloading point at Oskova washery - here the catches are being loosened prior to coal being discharged. Motive power is No. 83158, a Jugoslavian built 0-8-2 dating from 1948. The Banovici system acquired six of these locos from the JZ but only two are now active, with one in use while the other is under overhaul.
