Remarks & Notes |
This Durdevik mine was back to service in autumn 2005. The output of this 100-metre deep mine is around 500 tons daily. The class 62-111 locomotive used at Durdevic was overhauled during the time when the mine was closed due to the civil war. It is now operating a daily pair of trains to the state railway station of Zivinice. The operating pattern depends on the output of the mine. Roughly, you can expect a light engine bunker first running to the station in the morning, returning chimney first with empty stock. Many many years ago, similar locomotives were used in France for shunting. The SNCF class was the 030TU. |
