HWB VT52 in Masarykovo Nadrazi |
| Description: |
I'm not familiar with the Hochwaldbahn or this DMU, but there it was, sitting in Masarykovo Nadrazi, and I just had to take photos of it, if for no other reason than because it was mysterious. |

HWB VT52 in Masarykovo Nadrazi, Picture 3 |
| Description: |
VT52 was a multiple unit, of course, and this car looks like it was from a different set originally. The vintage-looking Konrad beer ad is an interesting touch, as I'm sure this is, in fact, a vintage machine. |

HWB VT52 in Masarykovo Nadrazi, Picture 4 |
| Description: |
Here's the weirdest thing. The trainboard says the train is on a Zittau-Liberec local service, and the board doesn't look to be just for show, yet here the train was in Masarykovo Nadrazi in Prague, roughly two hours from Liberec and even further from Zittau, what's up with that? |

Arriva 142072 |
| Description: |
These BR Class 142 "Pacer" railbuses were originally introduced by BR in the 1980s in an attempt at cutting costs on branchlines. Being as cut-rate as they are (like most railbuses), they have sometimes been rated by railway magazines as the most hated rail vehicles in Britain, although Im not clear on where they got their survey data. Im just thankful to have rail transport, although I would agree that they ride rough, theyre slow (75 m.p.h.), theyre loud, theyre a little bit cramped, the seats are crude, and they arent always kept clean (although this isnt a result of the design). I rode this one, now Arriva #142072, to Cardiff from Barry. |

Arriva 150281 |
| Description: |
While looking at the other extra Barry photo, I found three more, but from my cameraphone. This one is on the bridge to Barry Island on the Barry Island branch. The train is a BR Class 150 DMU, still in use after roughly 35 years (I dont know the exact build date). These were old even when I was living in Britain, and are still in service even today. They can only operate at about 75 m.p.h., but this isnt a problem on many of the branchlines in Britain, and they have an advantage over most of the newer classes because they have more luggage space, or at least usable luggage space. Theyre particularly handy if youre travelling with a bike. |

Arriva Trains Wales 175006 in Cardiff Central |
| Description: |
This is an Alstom (BR) Class 175 Coradia DMU. They were intended as a new generation of DMU that could operate at 125 m.p.h., although this was quickly downgraded to 110 and then to 100. 125 m.p.h. DMUs were eventually produced (in the form of the Virgin Voyager and BR Class 180), but the 175 Coradia never ended up filling such a role. Originally introduced in 2000 on First North Western, they have since been transferred to Arriva Trains Wales. Given the absurdity of the BR privatisation scheme, they have never been owned by a railway or Train Operating Company (TOC), but are instead owned by Angel Trains and leased to the TOCs, at much greater expense to the taxpayer. |

First Trans-Pennine Express 185140 In Leeds New Station |
| Description: |
Among the newest trains in Britain are these Class 185 DMUs, which are intended for express and longer-distance regional services outside of electrified territory. Obviously, they often wander in and out from under the wires, and here's an example of that at Leeds, where 185140 is waiting to depart with a service to Middlesborough. In order to allow them to make full use of the British rail network and not hold up traffic, Class 185s are authorized to run at 125 m.p.h. where track conditions permit, as on this service. I originally never expected this shot to come out properly, as I shot it at f4 and 1/45, which I was sure would blur, but in reality it came out quite crisp, to my amazement. |

| Description: |
Not convinced that I had gotten the earlier shot of 185140, I moved in as close as I could while still getting the whole front end, and used my flash. This was what I got, decent, but surprisingly not as good as the first shot. It's that ugly bleaching from the flash, as usual. |

Ex-CSD M240.0100 and ex-CSD #735175-2 in the CD Muzeum |
| Description: |
This is a Class M240 DMU, used on suburban and rural branchlines up to the present day. Built by Skoda between 1959 and 1964, these DMUs are old, so they probably dont have too many years left in service. I looked the fleet up on Wikipedia, and only two were listed as still in service as of 2009, one of them in MOW service. Therefore, the remainder are heritage units like this one. |

| Description: |
I'm not aware of what mine these mining carts were used in, but theyre clearly narrow-gauge, possibly narrower than the other narrow-gauge exhibits at the museum. I wouldnt mind getting some information on the gauges of the display tracks at the museum, so Im going to log onto the internet as soon as possible and find out. |

Ex-CSD M262.0090 in the CD Muzeum |
| Description: |
This is a Class M262 DMU, common on many suburban and rural CSD branchlines in the 1950s-1980s. Introduced in 1949 and produced until 1960 by Tatra, a few of them are still used for excursions, but as far as I know none of them operate in regular service anymore, as the last were officially withdrawn in 2008. |
