locale =Croatia The single locomotive designated JŽ 341 is a curiosity.
It was originally designed for hauling freight and passenger-trains on the then new mountain part of the electrified
Rijeka mainline. When it was found out, that the axle pressure was high (20 t), further orders were abandoned. The maintenance and usage of this locomotive caused troubles in that there was only one unit of this type. The production of spare parts was not worth, and would have been too expensive.Last years of this locomotive were assisting in hauling freight traffic over the very hilly and difficult Rijeka-Zagreb line, between Fužine and Lokve.
The end of useful life commenced in May
1986 .The photos of this unit are very rare.
