Šinobus (Railbus)
The JŽ/ŽS series 812, famously known as “Šinobus,” were diesel passenger trains manufactured in the Goša wagon factory in Smederevska Palanka from 1959 to 1969, under a license from the German company Uerdingen. A total of 270 sets were produced, replacing steam locomotives on local railroads in Yugoslavia during the 1960s and early 1970s. Many of these Šinobus sets were retired due to age, while the remaining ones were gradually replaced by DMV-711 sets by Serbian Railways starting in March 2012. Among railroad enthusiasts, the Šinobus is considered one of the most beloved rail vehicles in the area. It remained in service until February 2016.
