ZS - Serbia Although Eivel diesel locomotive My 1125 should have operated by itself in Serbia, the permission was withdrawn just before departure. So Serbian locomotives hauled the Balkan-Express to Kosovo through Serbia. From Kraljevo, where the photo was taken, ZS 661-121 was the "lucky" one.

ZS661-121_Zvecan.jpg (146656 bytes)

ZS - Serbia The Balkan-Express was not allowed to cross the "internal" border between Serbian and Albanian territory in Kosovo. Therefore it was left at Zvecan with passengers crossing this border by bus. On the way home our train was waiting for us, again or still with Serbian locomotive 661-121.
