The concept of Samobor Railway includes the narrow-gauge railway with the track width of 760 mm between Zagreb and Samobor that was operational between Jan. 16th, 1901 and Dec. 31st, 1979. The railway was constructed under the status of a vicinal (commercial) railway. Its length was 19 kilometres and its construction was financed by the joint stock company Vicinalna željeznica Zagreb-Samobor headquartered in Budapest. After WWII, the railway became a part of JDŽ and on July 1st, 1950 it started operating as an independent company entitled Gradska željeznica u Zagrebu (GŽZ). In 1951 the railway was extended by 5 kilometres from Samobor to Bregana. During the next two decades, investments were made into railway renewal and modernisation of mobile capacities. Despite that, the railway transport on that track could not compete with the expansion of the roadway transport so the Samobor Railway was closed for transport at the beginning of 1980. Used engines or leased engines were mostly used to pull trains on that track. The only new engines were a steam locomotive no. 7 and aluminium diesel-electrical motor trains.
Steam Locomotive No. 7 Narrow-gauge tender steam locomotive no. 7 was built to pull light passenger and mixed trains at low railways. Small in terms of dimensions, but light and fast, the locomotive was simple to maintain. Locomotive no. 7 had flat steam valves, a Heusinger steering wheel and a lever handbrake. All types of coal were used as fuel. It had a tall chimney with an arrestor mesh. The amount of coal that could be stored was sufficient for trips between Zagreb – Samobor. This type of a locomotive was built in the Orenstein and Koppel factories in Berlin Drewitz between 1923 and 1930. Today, the steam locomotive no. 7 can be seen at the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum in Zagreb. The locomotive's power is 44 kW (60 KSi), its length is 6380 mm, empty locomotive mass is 10 t, operating locomotive mass is 12 t, water tank is 2.5 m3, coal supply is 0.5 t, and the greatest permitted speed is 25 km/h.
