The data on locomotives and tenders of the 0.76-meter gauge track is an important resource for studying the railway history of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of the 1950s. The rich history of the railway and its significance in the past are only modest contributions within this document to the wealth and diversity of archival material, which is of exceptional importance for the preservation and revitalization of national memory. Thanks to the efforts of engineers and technicians at the Main Railway Workshop “Vaso Miskin Crni,” who diligently entered the data by hand using only a stylus with a purple ink, they left a testimony for future generations of how much effort is required to preserve history and properly complete the work.
By reviewing the booklet, you can find information about locomotives and tenders with a track gauge of 0.76 meters, including technical characteristics, type, power, inventory numbers, manufacturer, year of production, and the quantity of locomotives available. According to data from the technical booklet for the year 1950, the number of locomotives and tenders serviced at the Main Workshop and used on narrow gauge lines in Bosnia and Herzegovina are: Locomotives: 591 units, of which 27 units were deferred in 1949/50, Tenders: 284 units.
Locomotives: 591 units, of which 27 units were scrapped in 1949/50,
Tender: 284 units.
We hope that visitors with particular interest will examine this rare document, and for historians researching archival materials, this booklet can serve as a unique specimen in studying the post-war development of Yugoslav Railways.
