Oskova Washery

0-6-0T No. 25.30 shunting the washery at Oskova on 24th September 2014 in the process of moving its train to position the next loaded wagons over the unloading bunkers. With a ban on standard gauge colliery locos working over state railway owned tracks in Bosnia having just been imposed, this 760mm gauge operation is now the only 'real' steam operation left in Europe, although it is hoped that the SG ban can be lifted once the appropriate paperwork is in place, allowing a few Kriegloks to return to trip workings at Dubrave and Sikulje.
