Kostolac
Kostolac 'A' power station is operated by Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) and comprises two units built in 1967 and 1980 with a capacity of 100 Mw and 125 MW respectively. The locomotive is one of a number originally supplied by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration to Yugoslavia after WW2. These locomotives worked on the line from the Klenovic opencast mine to the power station.
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!
Preparing for work
Veteran ex-main line locomotive 126-014 is prepared for further work at Resavica colliery in Serbia. It was built by MAVAG, Budapest, in 1899.
Kostolac power station
Kostolac 'A' power station is operated by Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) and comprises two units built in 1967 and 1980 with a capacity of 100 Mw and 125 MW respectively. The locomotives were originally supplied by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration to Yugoslavia after WW2. They are working on the line from the Klenovic opencast mine to the power station.
Back to the depot
On the level crossing at Kostolac is No.13 running with the tender from No,10 as it heads back to the semi roundhouse depot. The locomotive is one of a number originally supplied by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration to Yugoslavia after WW2. These locomotives worked on the line from the Klenovic opencast mine to the power station.
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.
The orange washery
The large Vreoci coal washery in Serbia handles the output from a number of opencast coal mines. Spoil is removed to the tip by an aerial ropeway.
