Dubrovnik, part 2



JŽ class 83 compound 0-8-2 83.151 has backed its train into a siding (left) while JŽ class 83 0-8-2 83.055 is shunting stock (right) at Hum.




JŽ class 83 0-8-2 at Hum.  JŽ class 83 compound 0-8-2 83.151 (Budapest/1908) moving a freight train at Hum.




JŽ class 83 0-8-2 83.055 (Jung/1923) shunting at Hum, the junction for the line to Dubrovnik and Zelenika and the line to Titograd.




JŽ class 83 0-8-2 near Trebinje.  JŽ class 83 0-8-2 83.055 (Jung/1923) near Trebinje with the 15:50 Hum to Trebinje mixed train.




JŽ class 85 2-8-2 85.020 (Budapest/1930) in the early evening sunshine at Dubrovnik station with the 18:35 overnight train to Sarajevo where it will arrive at 06:55 - if it's on time!  26-05-1966




JŽ class 83 compound 0-8-2 83.124 (Krauss Linz/1903) runs past 2-8-2 85.020 which is waiting to depart with the 18:35 overnight train to Sarajevo.  83.124 was the first of a batch of 29 compound 0-8-2 locos of which the first 24 were built by Krauss in Linz, Austria and the last 5 were built in Budapest, Hungary.




My final shot of the Yugoslavian narrow gauge - JŽ class 83 compound 0-8-2 83.151 (Budapest/1908) pauses between movements at Dubrovnik station.   This is the locomotive that we had seen earlier that afternoon at Hum where it was shunting a freight train for Dubrovnik.
