We are publishing a rare collection of photographs taken during the construction of the standard gauge railway, specifically during the abolition of the narrow-gauge railway on the Doboj \u2013 Tuzla route. The work on building the railway and the simultaneous partial dismantling of the narrow-gauge track began in late 1947 and was completed with the line opening to public traffic on March 28, 1951.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, we note that with the first implementation of the five-year plan (1947\u20131951) for the reconstruction and development of the FNRJ, the People's Front of workers, farmers, and students\u2014shoulder to shoulder\u2014constructed the Br\u010dko \u2013 Banovi\u0107i railway (May 1 \u2013 November 7, 1946), the \u0160amac \u2013 Sarajevo railway (April 1 \u2013 November 15, 1947), and the Banja Luka \u2013 Doboj railway (March \u2013 December 1951). It is worth mentioning the engineers and workers involved in the reconstruction of bridges and tunnels from Sarajevo \u2013 Konjic \u2013 Mostar \u2013 Gabela \u2013 Huma to Bile\u0107a, the La\u0161va \u2013 Travnik \u2013 Jajce railway, Podlugovi \u2013 Vare\u0161, Biha\u0107 \u2013 Knin, in the reconstruction and laying of standard gauge tracks, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n
