Hauling Bosnian Coal
The Tuzla Basin 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 in Tuzla largely by diesel engines but steam locomotives are still used for shunting and as a backup for the diesels. In this scene, a 2-10-0 German Kriegslok WW2 locomotive, 33-236, is seen hauling loaded coal wagons which will be taken to the power station by a 661 series Kennedy diesel locomotive.
