Narrow gauge at Klenovic

Porter built 0-8-0s Nos 9 and 13 working at the Klenovic opencast coal mine in Serbia. To get this shot involved scrambling up an enormous waste tip of red shale. It was loose and large lumps kept cascading down. By the time I reached the summit my boots were full of the rotten stuff.

Steam leak

Emerging from clouds of leaking steam 126-014 built by MAVAG, Budapest, in 1899 shunts the yard at the Resavica colliery in Serbia. The shunter wisely stayed upwind!

Main line in industry

I instantly fell in love with this locomotive when I saw it shunting the yard at Resavica colliery in Serbia. 126-014 was built in 1899 by MAVAG, Budapest, for main line services. I have no idea how long it has been in industrial use.
