caption_attribution_description: English: Three out of the four of this class were stabled here at Požarevac on 26 September 2013. The class is actually stored out of use and over the years have been used for freight and the occasional passenger train. Built in 1978 to haul the late Yugoslavian president Tito's "Blue Train" , hence the same colour of the loco. These locos were rolled off the production line in 1978 at General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in London, Ontario, Canada. The model is JT22CW-2 and mechanically identical to the classes 071 and 111 delivered to Ireland from 1976. This view shows 666.004 and behind, 666.003. For the record the other class 666 noted at Požarevac was 666.001 which was approximately 400 metres away.
context_page_description: Tito's Blue Train is a luxury train, once used by Josip Broz Tito, while president of the former Yugoslavia. It is now operated as a tourist attraction on the 476-kilometre Belgrade–Bar railway, between Belgrade, capital of Serbia, and Bar, a coastal town in Montenegro.
context_section_description: The first dedicated locomotives for the Blue Train were three repainted JŽ class 11 4-8-0, one of them is now preserved in Belgrade. They were replaced by three Krauss-Maffei ML 2200 C'C' purchased from West Germany. These engines were based on DB Class V 200. 
  In 1978, four Electro-Motive Diesel, EMD JT22CW-2 locomotives, designated as ŽS series 666, were acquired by Yugoslav Railways for use with the train, hence their all-blue livery. Since the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the locomotives have been used to haul freight and passenger trains. All four are no longer operational and stored awaiting overhaul. They were named after World War II battles:
  001 - Dinara
  002 - Kozara
  003 - Sutjeska
  004 - Neretva
