- Number: 1415
- MINERALS AND ROCKS - Loess
- By their origin, rocks are classified as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks make up about 95% of the lithosphere, whereas the other two types of rock are only 5% of the lithosphere. Minerals can occur as crystals – as homogeneous, regular geometric solids with some degree of symmetry, which is a reflection of their regular internal composition – the structure. Loess is a pale yellow to yellowish terrestrial, fine-grained sediment formed by the accumulation of wind-blown particles, hence it is also known as aeolian sediment.

Without a doubt, one of the most interesting minerals is pyrite – a sulfide mineral with a metallic luster and gold-yellow hue, which at first glance resembles gold.

LOCOMOTIVES
- Type: C
- Date: 6.10.2022.
- Number: 1411
- LOCOMOTIVES, Diesel-hydraulic locomotive series HŽ 2133/JŽ 734
- Shunting locomotives are designed primarily for shunting wagons at train stations and marshalling yards. They were formerly used as industrial locomotives and for train haulage on open lines, which is something very rare these days. At present, there are two series of shunting locomotives running on Croatian railroads, namely diesel-hydraulic locomotives series HŽ 2132 and diesel-electric locomotives series HŽ 2041.
