KREKA Bukinje, Bosnia-Hercegovina

Zwei 'Kriegsloks'-Baureihen vor dem Werkstatt-Gebäude der KREKA-Kohleminen in Bukinje, einige Km von Tuzla entfernt. Links 33 503 (BR 52) und rechts 62 637, ein jugoslawischer Nachbau vom bekannten UNRRA C-Kuppler.

Two war-classes engines in front of the repair shop of the KREKA coal mining administration in Bukinje, near Tuzla (Bosnia-Hercegovina). Left is 33 503, a former German 'Kriegslok' (BR 52) and right Jugoslavia-built 62 637, based on the famous UNRRA-type that was supplied to many European countries just after WWII. Incredibly both engines went through another war after the partition of Jugoslavia and finished as the very last steam locomotives in revenue service in whole Europe...
