The Banovići Coal Mines in Bosnia-Herzegovina 720-002 seen at Grivice

Closing the narrow-gauge railway is always in planning. Completely moving to the roads is impossible as they are narrow and curvy, but for example a conveyor belt would fit in the place of the tracks. The railway is only a small step in the transfer anyway: the loading areas are far from the mines so lorries and existing conveyor belts bring the coal to the small trains that cannot reach the costumers directly as the narrow-gauge tracks are not reaching for example the Tuzla power plant.
