Steam locomotive JŽ 51-019 - Naklo / Slowenien - Locomotives on Waymarking.com

Source: (visit link)

The locomotive was produced in 1928 by Wiener Lokomotiv Fabrik (WLN) Floridsdorf, serial nr. 2976. The series JŽ 53 (BBÖ 378) was designed by Alexander Lehner for passenger trains on local lines. Relatively small driven wheels enabled good accelerations at numerous stations while the low speed was satisfactory for local lines. Due to four driven wheel pairs it could develop the large pulling force: it could pull upto 440 t trains at its max. speed. Modern steam engine (constructed by Lentz), where steam flow was regulated by valves, similar to those in cars, turned out to be very economical. After the WW2, 29 locomotives of this series arrived to Slovenia. They pulled passenger trains on local lines in Štajerska (eastern Slovenia), from Ljubljana to Kamnik, to Kranj and to Vrhnika and also between Kranj and Tržic. In January 1966 this locomotive pulled the last train to Tržic before it was disused (the section between Naklo and Tržic). In 2008, on the 100th anniversary of this line, the locomotive was exhibited in Naklo.
