Banovici in eastern Bosnia, is on a small coalfield, where a 760mm gauge line connects mines with the standard gauge railhead at Oskova. B-B diesel hydraulic No 740 113 has brought coal into the sidings at Oskova late in the afternoon of 28th October 2011. Forty class 740s were built from 1968 to 1972, but closure of virtually all the Bosnian narrow gauge system meant that their useful life was short, except for a handful which were sold on, including one to the Zillertalbahn see image 41805.
