Industrial Railway
A view of the loading point at the Grivice on the 760mm narrow gauge industrial railway where wagons loaded with coal are ready for despatch as 0-8-0 Class 55 steam locomotive, 55-99, continues along the single line heading a charter train. The Tuzla Basin in Bosnia is amongst the largest supplier of lignite and sub-bituminous coal in Eastern Europe, won from four large open pits, which supply the Tuzla thermal electric plant - Bosnia's largest power station (715 MW). Coal is transported by both conventional and narrow gauge railways largely by diesel engines but steam locomotives are still used for shunting and as a backup for the diesels.
