Bosanska Mezgraja–Bijeljina–Ugljevik; An isolated 760 mm (2 ft 5+15⁄16 in) gauge railway Split–Sinj (completed in Croatia); 40 km, 1903–62.
A planned extension via Aržano to Bugojno (and further on existing tracks to Sarajevo) never materialized because of World War I and the line remained isolated from the Bosnian 760 mm (2 ft 5+15⁄16 in) network.
