The ŽFBH 441 308 seen between Grad and Ovčari
There were no freight trains during the day because of the usual daily closure for track inspection (there are many accidents because of trees or rocks falling on the track). The night is full of freighters though. Because of the expansion of the Rijeka Harbour, all Zenica-bound traffic (iron ore from the port to Zenica, steel blocks back to the port) is going accross Ploče and using the Neretva-railway. Because Ploče has poorer equipment for loading and unloading it makes it more expensive, so when Rijeka gets back to full (and increased) capacity, the freight trains will leave the Ivan-pass and return to the Banja Luka - Fiume route.
