Series scheme of the BHStB and BHLB
The locomotives were designated by the Bosnian-Herzegovinian State Railways (BHStB) and later the Bosnian-Herzegovinian State Railways (BHLB) according to the following scheme:
designation | Coupled axles | Weight (locomotive and tender) |
---|---|---|
I. | 1 | under 23 tons |
IIa | 2 | under 23 tons |
IIb | 2 | 23-25 tons |
IIc | 2 | over 25 tons |
IIIa | 3 | under 30 tons |
IIIb | 3 | 30-35 tons |
IIIc | 3 | over 35 tons |
IVa | 4th | under 40 tons |
IVb | 4th | 40-46 tons |
IVc | 4th | over 46 tons |
Va | 5 | under 50 tons |
Vb | 5 | 50-56 tons |
Vc | 5 | over 56 tons |
VIc | 6th |
An Arabic number at the end of the designation indicates the total number of axles. Each locomotive has been given an additional number, which largely corresponds to the chronology of its commissioning. The five-axle locomotives and the six-axle mallets are an exception .
The series scheme remained in use on the railways of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes for the Bosnian narrow-gauge locomotives. It was not until 1933 that the Yugoslav State Railways (JDŽ) introduced their own numbering scheme.
