ZFBH - Zeljeznice
Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine
Network length, gauge and electrification (2008):
- 608km standard gauge, 259km electrified at 25kV 50Hz
After the signing of the Dayton Accords to end the civil war in Bosnia,
the country was divided into two entities. ZFBH operates in the
Muslim-Croat Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina, while ZRS operates
in the Republika Srpska.
Unlike ZRS, which has got only one operational center at Doboj, ZFBH
operates three independant networks. Depots are at Bihac, Tuzla and
Raijlovac near Sarajevo.
- ZFBH Sarajevo/Rajlovac works passenger train along the
(Doboj-)
Maglaj-Sarajevo-Capljina (-Ploce) mainline. Regional passenger
services exist only on
Maglaj-Zenica-Sarajevo-Konjic. Class 441 electrics
work most if not all trains.
- ZFBH Bihac operates
passenger trains from Novi Grad/Bos. Novi
to Bihac and cargo trains on the Una line to the border station to
Croatia (Martin Brod).
- ZFBH Tuzla : 6 operational class 661 diesel-electrics are at Tuzla.
They work
two
passenger trains to Brcko and two to Bos. Bijela and freight
trains to and from the industries and coal mines around Tuzla. Freight
traffic has declined dramtically as a result of the civil war in the
mid 1990s.
Since December 2019 Tuzla is no longer served, passenger trains of ZRS
end at the (internal) border.
