No need to chase this engine. It only moves at walking pace, so my driver Jaz slept all day whilst I trudged in the mud. And he still wanted to be paid.

Ex JZ 2530 060 (CDK #2530, 1949) pushing and pulling rakes of tipper wagons thru the loading point of the washery and past some heavy duty welding on the Banovici Coal Mine 760 mm narrow gauge network. April 2014, just before the deluge that cut Banovici off from the main line at Živinice.

A permit to visit the mine costs €15 or BM30 on presentation of your passport, which is available from the office at the main depot a few kilometres up from the washery. Buy a season ticket and lots of pivo for the friendly train crews.
