Class 20 was a class of steam locomotives for Yugoslav Railways and other railways built by Hanomag, Borsig and AEG. Krauss and Rheinmetall between 1912 and 1922. Albania In 1946, 2 of them came to Albania, 20-132 and 20-136. Around 1960 these two locomotives were taken out of service.

Trebnje
Trebnje (, ) is a town in southeastern Slovenia. It lies on the Temenica River in the traditional region of Lower Carniola, and is the seat of the Municipality of Trebnje. The area was already settled in Antiquity. The modern settlement developed on the main regional road and railway line from Ljubljana to Novo Mesto. The old town center with the parish church stands slightly raised on the left bank of Temenica River, and the new part extends to the north from the railway line and the regional road toward Novo Mesto. Name Trebnje was attested in historical sources in 1163 as ''Treuen'' (and as ''Treven'' in 1228, ''Trefen'' in 1389, and ''Treben'' in 1437). The name is believed to be a clipped form of ''Trěbьńe selo'' 'Trěbъ's village', presumably referring to an early inhabitant of the place. A less likely theory derives the name from the verb *''trěbiti'' 'to clean, clear (land)', thus referring to an area cleared for settlement. Another hypothesis, considered very unl ...

Railway System Of The Soviet Union
Soviet Railways (Russian: Советские железные дороги (СЖД)) was the state owned national railway system of the Soviet Union, headquartered in Moscow. The railway started operations in December 1922, shortly after the formation of the Soviet Union. Soviet Railways greatly upgraded and expanded the Russian Imperial Railways to meet the demands of the new country. It operated until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991. The Soviet Railways were the largest unified railway in the world and the backbone of the Soviet Union's economy. The railway was directly under the control of the Ministry of Railways in the Soviet Union. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Soviet Railways split into fifteen different national railways belonging to the respective countries. After the end of Soviet Railways, however, rail transport in the former Soviet states greatly declined and has not recovered to its former efficiency to this day.

Standard-gauge Locomotives Of Albania
A standard-gauge railway is a railway with a track gauge of . The standard gauge is also called Stephenson gauge (after George Stephenson), international gauge, UIC gauge, uniform gauge, normal gauge in Europe, and SGR in East Africa. It is the most widely used track gauge around the world, with about 55% of the lines in the world using it. All high-speed rail lines use standard gauge except those in Russia, Finland, Uzbekistan, and some line sections in Spain. The distance between the inside edges of the heads of the rails is defined to be 1,435 mm except in the United States, Canada, and on some heritage British lines, where it is defined in Imperial and US customary measurement systems, U.S. customary/Imperial units, British Imperial units as exactly "four feet eight and one half inches", which is equivalent to 1,435.1mm. History As railways developed and expanded, one of the key issues was the track gauge (the distance, or width, between the inner sides of the rail he ...
