View To The North Out Of Hlavni Nadrazi, Picture 2 (date is guessed) |
| Description: |
This is an alternate shot to Picture 1, which is easier to see because it's shot on the outer tracks outside of the train shed, making a good exposure much easier. |

CD Class 742 Diesel With Freight (date is guessed) |
| Description: |
Here's one of my few photos of a Czech freight train, this one taken in Cercany. The locomotive, a Class 742 diesel built by CKD sometime in the 1970s or 1980s, is a common sight on freight trains in Central Bohemia, and can also occassionally be seen on local passenger services. |

Class 971 and 471s In Praha Masarykovo Nadrazi (date is a guess) |
| Description: |
During the recent snowstorms (actually back in February), I couldn't resist taking some train photos, so I walked and rode trams around Prague to see what I could get. I took this shot in Masarykovo Nadrazi. |

Class 971 Builder Plate On 971 In Praha Masarykovo Nadrazi (date is a guess) |
| Description: |
While I was in Masarykovo Nadrazi taking my February snow pictures, I finally got around, also to photographing one of the 971 EMU's builder plates. I obviously like builder plates since they're a very reliable (usually) of knowing the straight historical facts about a piece of rolling stock, provided the plate is original, anyway. I especially like plates that are exotic, although it's debatable whether Skoda or CKD would fall into that category. |

CD 110032-0 In Snow On North Throat Of Hlavni Nadrazi (date is a guess) |
| Description: |
Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, like most big city stations in the world, has a few switchers waiting at any given time to switch coaches, and Hlavni Nadrazi has the advantage of having an all-electric fleet. Most of these are Class 111s, but this one is a 110, which is a bit rarer. The bluish hue of this photo makes it look like it was bitterly cold, but in reality it wasn't so bad. |

CD 451079-8 In Masarykovo Nadrazi (date is a guess) |
| Description: |
In addition to the new Class 471s and 971s, Masarykovo still hosts services operated by the older 451 and 452 classes, although they are gradually dwindling in number. Hlavni Nadrazi is generally the better place to spot "pantographs" if that's really what you're after. |

Praha Hlavni Nadrazi In A Snowy Haze (B&W version, date is a guess) |
| Description: |
Here's another station shot. :-) I originally shot this with Ektachrome E100GX, one of the nicest color films you can buy if you can't get Kodachrome 64 or 200. On this particular day, though, during the Prague snowstorm two weekends ago, Hlavni Nadrazi, the main train station, was so obscured in the snow that the scene was, for practical purposes, a black and white scene. Seeing the scans of my two brackets, I decided to go with the lighter and hazier one for dramatic effect, and oddly, convert it to black and white. Why not? I think it looks better this way. Maybe some of you can tell me what you think, and I can consider uploading other versions of this. |

CD Class 810 Railbus On Zelecnicni Most |

I had walked the entire length of the Zelecnicni Most from east to west, had seen no trains whatsoever, and was just turning back when I got lucky and caught this. Okay, so it's a railbus and not a proper train, but I was still happy to get it. |

CD 363130-6 On Zelecnicni Most (date is a guess) |
| Description: |
As I was walking along the Zelecnicni Most to the East, the sun went behind a cloud, casting Prague into gloom. In response, I switched my Lomo to 1/60 and f5.6, worried that I wouldn't get anything otherwise. The result was that when this Rychlik came rumbling over the bridge, I took the shot, and it was so overexposed as to be abstract. I played with it in Photoshop, though, and got this what I think is beautful Lomo shot with the aura of the sun in from of the train, grit all around, and the feeling of the awesome power that is a train. :-) The irony is that 363 130-6 is a very clean, green, electric locomotive. |

Setting Sunlight On CD 371003-5 At Nadrazi Holesovice |
| Description: |
I took many, many different versions of this shot while waiting for the "Hungaria" to take me to Berlin. This locomotive would be our power, but for the moment it was waiting for the train to arrive with Slovak power on the point. The lighting was what struck me more than anything, though, as Class 371s are a dime a dozen in Holesovice. |

Sunset Over Nadrazi Holesovice |
| Description: |
I shot this while waiting for a train to Bradford, England. YES! REALLY!! I'm sick of airlines losing my luggage. Anyway, I would have to take six trains, actually, one from here to Berlin, a couchette from Berlin to Brussels, the Eurostar Brussels to London Waterloo, the Underground Waterloo to King's Cross, a GNER Intercity 225 to Leeds, and finally a First Northern local to Bradford Interchange. I don't know if it was the longest train trip I ever took, but it was certainly one of the longest. In any case, I hope you like this sunset!! :-) |

ex-CSD#498.022 Passing Krivoklat |
| Description: |
This was also on the day of the Krivoklat steam excursion, and this was our locomotive, ex-CSD #498.022. The 498 Class was supposedly the fastest Czech steam locomotive class of all time with a speed record of 162Km/h in 1964, set by #498.106 "Albatros." This locomotive is often mistaken for #498.106 "Albatros," and is even misrepresented in the literature promoting steam trips in the Czech Republic, partly because the locomotives are sisters in the same class. This three-car train, incidentally, was NOT our train, as our train was closer to 42 cars, if I'm remembering right. 498.022 didn't stop this time, as it had to go fetch the rest of the train before backing into the station again. |

CSD Coal Stove |
| Description: |
CSD used coal stoves for heating surprisingly late in their history, and this ancient-looking, wooden, 4-wheel, coal-heated passenger car actually is only from the early-1940s, being built during World War II, of course. These very old-fashioned cars also served well into the modern-era, and can be seen in 1970s and 1980s Czech movies. |

Smoking Train Stoves, Nadrazi Branik |
| Description: |
These vintage coaches, partly of wooden construction, would form the consist for the steam excursion to Krivoklat that I posted photos from a few months ago. I took these photos largely to illustrate their coal-fired heating stoves, as although they were built during World War II, they were about 70 years out of date even then, with these stoves for heating, as well as, usually, four-wheel wooden construction. |

CD 151014-8 at Hlavni Nadrazi |
| Description: |
One of the unusual things about my trip to Warsaw is that my train departed from Hlavni Nadrazi rather than from Holesovice. Here's my train for Poland, Eurocity 109 "Comenius," but it wasn't going to be a through trip on this particular day, as there are only a few that you can take, and I wasn't there at the right time. Therefore, I would have to change in Bohumin to EC102 "Polonia." |

Polonia Interior |
| Description: |
Not all Czech and Polish trains are rundown vandalised junkers. The international trains, in particular, are generally kept up, and this is a Polish example operated by ICC, a contractor for PKP, the Polish Railway (If I'm wrong on this then someone correct me). |

Praha Hlavni Nadrazi Sign |
| Description: |
Here's a view from the train window of EC109, still awaiting departure from Hlavni Nadrazi. This trip was a little bit unusual in that it was an international trip which originated in Hlavni Nadrazi. Although Hlavni Nadrazi does indeed host a number of international services, most notably #R209 "Vltava" for Moscow, most international services use Nadrazi Holesovice. |

Here's yet another Lomo-like shot from my Nikon, still rolling through the railyards of Ostrava. |

Passing Nadrazi Lysa nad Labem |
| Description: |
I'm 90% certain that this is Lysa nad Labem. Why? Although I don't know the system too well, I notice that there's a Class 471 "City Elephant" at an adjacent platform, which means that we still had to have been in the vicinity of Prague. Originally, I had a theory that this was Kolin, but in actuality Kolin is much dirtier than this, and Liben has a more modern station building. |

Nadrazi Lukavice nad Morava |
| Description: |
I took this mainly because it looked like an interesting small-town station, with an MOW crew to give added interest. It took months to find the correct place name, though, as the station sign is obscured by trees. |

View From Polonia |
| Description: |
Here was the farewell view as we departed Petrovice, across the border into Poland. From this point onward, it started to get dark, although I did take SLIDES, which aren't going to be displayed on Flickr until they make it into an NRHS show. |

Local Train At Nadrazi Branik |
| Description: |
Here's a typical local headed for either Dobris or Cercany (more likely the former) via Branik. The locomotive is, from the looks of it a Class 714 diesel, and the coaches are 010 Class four-wheel coaches based on the 810 Class railbus. The smoke coming from the coaches on the siding is from the coal heating stoves in them, as they are indeed vintage steam-era coaches. |

ex-CSD 498.022 Under Branicky Most |
| Description: |
I noticed the composition of these photos at the same time that I noticed that I could get more shots of CSD 498.022 before I left Branik. Incidentally, the Branicky Most, the bridge overhead, is a railway bridge that carries freight traffic across the River Vltava, and helps to keep Branik a busy station most of the time, even if the station itself only hosts local passenger services, a few freights, and a few excursions like this one. |

CSD 498.022 Under Branicky Most, Picture 2 |
| Description: |
I had high hopes for these photos from the very beginning, and now that I can see them with my own eyes they're some of my favorite color photos of the year, dramatic in their own special Czech way. |

This is a closer crop of Picture 2. I'll reiterate that these shots capture the feel of the Czech Republic's rail system exceptionally well, and indeed they remind me of some of the prettiest photos (and movies) shot here. |

I took this as 498.022 was pulling back into Nadrazi Branik as an unidentified 810 Class railbus was departing south. |

CD 810 Class Railbuses At Nadrazi Branik |
| Description: |
Here's an 810 Class railbus working another local at Branik, from the looks of it a southbound. The factory in the background is the Branik Pivovar, or brewery. |
