Various photos and tickets
This is 83-040, Budapest 5003/1929 at the Kharkov Pioneer Railway in Russia after the second world war. Thanks to Sergei Dorozhkov of Pereslavl Narrow Gauge Museum for the information. More photos of 83-040 at Kharkov may be viewed here.
73-018 scares the waiting horses as it crosses the Travnik to Lasva road near Vitez in August 1965. There were 23 of these Class 73 2-6-2's which were built as light passenger locomotives. This loco is one of three preserved and can be seen at Jablanica. Note the used shell cases filled with flowers above the cylinders.
85-004 about to leave Sarajevo on a train to Visegrad in May 1969.
Skoda built 0-10-0 1934 is seen here preserved in Prijedor.
83-146 on a local passenger train at Capljina in 1968
Narrow-gauge railcar at Capljina in 1968. Tom Burnham remembers: passengers for Dubrovnik had left the standard-gauge train on the opposite side of the platform and were attempting to find space on this train. The seat reservation system had broken down completely!

Thomas Stueckl writes: I took these two photographs of a Class 85 2-8-2 in June 1988 at Capljina. Little remained of the narrow gauge railway at that time. Accidentally, I found this loco pretty far away from the station. All number plates had been removed, so I took a photograph of the steam dome where year and place of construction were indicated (1940 Slav. Brod).
85001 at Mostar in 1964, very little trace of the railway remains at this once busy location.
85005 is seen at Cukarica, 13-05-1964
2-6-6-0 92010 at Paracin working the 12-05-1964.
