JŽ class 62
The Jugoslovenske Železnice (JŽ; Yugoslavian Railways) class 62 was a class formed of 106 ex-United States Army Transportation Corps S100 Class 0-6-0T steam locomotives, surplus after the Second World War, plus about 90 similar examples built by Đuro Đaković of Slavonski Brod, Croatia between 1952 and 1961.
These Yugoslav-built examples differ in minor details, but principally the use of plate frames instead of bar frames, resulting in a higher boiler pitch. This in turn leads to distinct shoulder on the steam pipes (the American-built examples having straight steam pipes) and smaller domes which have a flat top so they are not higher than the cab roof.
Preservation
Several examples of both the original S100 base design and the Yugoslav-built derivative survive throughout the former nation as well as further abroad. Notable examples include 62-669, built in 1960, which had been bought by a preservation group in England, who had it modified to resemble a Southern Railway USA class, being renumbered as 30075, one higher than the last British Railways example. The engine has since been joined by 62-521, which had become 30076. Two examples were purchased by Marineland of Canada for operation in their park, but ultimately remained stored until donated to the Niagara Railway Museum.[1]
Notable preserved examples:
- 62-669 (built 1960) North Dorset Railway "30075"
- 62-521 (built 1954) North Dorset Railway "30076"
- 62-118 (built 1955) Niagara Railway Museum
- 62-129 (built 1958) Niagara Railway Museum
