Two locomotives, which pulled coal wagons underground for years at the Turkish Hard Coal Institution (TTK) in Zonguldak and were scrapped, were repaired by the Engine Service employees of the Armutçuk Institution Directorate and brought back into working condition.

Two locomotives, which pulled coal wagons for 400 and 500 meters underground at the Armutçuk Organization Directorate's mine quarry for years, were scrapped on the grounds that they filled their economic life last May. 2 workers working in the Motor Service have reworked the locomotives by working for 5 months. The workers repaired locomotives with a market value of 3 thousand liras at low cost and put them back into use.

General Mining Workers' Union Deputy Chairman Isa Mutlu said that the organization was saved from an expense of approximately 400.000 - 500.000 liras, with the workers repairing the locomotives. Happy said:

“The maintenance and repair of these locomotives was carried out in limited, approximately 3 months. They brought the locomotives that were scrapped back to the institution. Our workers are doing their best to keep the institution alive and to benefit the institution. This is an example of what they can do when the necessary facilities are provided.
