Bosnia-Herzegovina

Bosnia-Herzegovina has two train operating companies. ZFBH (Željeznice Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine) operates in the Muslim-Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while ZRS (Željeznice Republike Srpske) operates in the Republika Srpska. The train network is not extensive, but does offer a few really good trips in comfortable trains. The route most commonly used by tourists is from Sarajevo to Mostar, which has two daily trains. Both of these continue to Ploce on the Croatian coast.
