JŽ Class 62

JŽ Class 62

The Jugoslovenskih Železnica (JŽ; Yugoslavian Railways) Class 62 was a class formed of 106 ex-United States Army Transportation Corps S100 Class 0-6-0 steam locomotives, surplus after the Second World War, plus about 90 similar examples built by Djuro Djakovic 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 of these engines survive, but one 62-669, built in 1960 was bought by a preservation group in England and has been modified to resemble a SR USA Class, and become "No. 30075", one higher than the last British Railways example. Another one has since followed:

* 62-669 (built 1960) East Somerset Railway "30075"
* 62-521 (built 1954) Watercress Line "30076"
