The Banovici Bunkers

Brown coal mining in the Tuzla region of Bosnia-Herzegovina is largely from opencast workings, but there are a few underground mines too. These are the loading bunkers for coal being brought by conveyor from a drift adjacent to the mining railway workshops in Banovici. From here the coal was taken by rail to the washery at Oskova a few miles away. At the time of my visit this drift mine was not working and I do not know if it ever reopened.

Kriegslok 33-064 brings the empty wagons to the loader at the Sikulje coal mine. The use of these 70 year old locomotives at two mines in this area continues in 2014 as they are cheaper than the alternatives.
