Some pictures from Mike Jackson from a visit in May 2002. This 600mm gauge line was about 5km in length.

The railway connected an inclined drift to the main washery. The mine itself was near Tuzla, and the narrow gauge loading point was at Haljinici.

The locos in use were Italian built Valente diesels. There were 2 in the loco shed and one in use.

The line had been worked as an overhead electric line until the last few years. The eletric locos were still present. They were built by Siemens.

A line up of a least for locos. It had been suggested that were to be put back into use if the overhead wire had ever been reintroduced.

Manual sanding was necessary on some parts of the line to assist the loco.
