Youth work actions were an inseparable part of socialist Yugoslavia. Through voluntary work, thousands of young brigadiers, both men and women, have contributed towards developing the country and the realisation of key infrastructure projects such as motorways, railways, bridges, tunnels, factories, residential buildings, schools, hospitals, and parks. One of these projects was the Šamac–Sarajevo railway, built in 1947 in a mere seven months. Young people from Yugoslavia were joined by a number of brigadiers from Italy, Great Britain, Greece, France, Denmark, Sweden, Palestine, and so on.
During the war in the nineties, the railway was damaged. The later Dayton Agreement cut it in two while its vital parts were privatised. The last train on the Šamac–Sarajevo line pulled out in 2011. Today, the rails are often used by people on their way to a better future.
