Coal loading


At the loading point for the 900 mm gauge electric railway connecting the Vreoci opencast coal mines to a large washery. There were 17 locomotives in service with the oldest dating back to 1942. The maximum speed of all electric locomotives is 30 km/h. The trains consist of 17 self-discharging wagons and the weight of a loaded train is 800 tons of which 500 tons are coal. Locomotive No.4 was built in Belgium by Haine St. Pierre/BBC in 1952.
The Vreoci coal mines belong to the state-owned Kolubara group which was established in the mid-1950s. There are four open cast mines: B, D, Tannav and Istokzabad. They have two power plants. The Verikicrljeni power plant is connected to the mines by an electric 900 mm gauge line, whilst the power plant in Obremovac is connected by an electrified standard gauge line. The total output of all mines is about 25 million tons of coal per year. Of this amount, 21.5 million tons is for the two power plants, and the rest is for sale to other consumers.
