Oskova

The low-level, standard gauge sidings at Oskova were shunted by steam until fairly recently but this duty has now been dieselised. However, there are still two locos held in reserve for when the diesel is out of action, and these are housed in the coal company's rather basic shed, seen here from the narrow gauge yard on 11 March 2014. Standing outside is a woebegone 0-6-0T USA-type tank numbered 62.677. A large number of these were supplied to Jugoslavia after WW2, although this particular example was home-built to the US design, as late as 1960.
