Croatian Post put two Locomotives stamps into circulation on 5 October 2026. Miroslav Zubović illustrated the HŽ 6 111 / JŽ 411 electric multiple unit and the JŽ 361 electric locomotive. Both designs carry the letter B as their postage value. They were printed in multicolour offset in a quantity of 25,000 per design, and appear together in a six-stamp sheet with three of each. A first-day cover accompanies the issue.

The first examples of the HŽ 6 111 / JŽ 411 were built in Budapest in 1976 by Ganz-MÁVAG. The units provided 236 seats and room for 230 standing passengers. Croatian Post notes their long association with suburban services around Zagreb and their use on intercity routes across electrified lines.

The JŽ 361 design recalls an earlier period. The route between Šapjane and Rijeka became Croatia’s first electrified railway in 1936, when the area was under the administration of the Italian state railway. Locomotives from Italy later carried the JŽ 361 designation under Yugoslav Railways. Croatian Post records that this locomotive type left use in Croatia in 1967 as the newer JŽ 362 arrived. Croatian Post introduced its Locomotives stamp series in 2008 and issues it in even-numbered years.
