CD Log Cars |
| Description: |
Ceske Drahy have been handling an unusually large amount (at least to me) of log traffic through Cercany lately. The yard seems to be used as a loading or possibly marshalling facivity, as most of the traffic seems to sit here for awhile without any locomotives on. |

CD 740561-6 |

Ax-CD #740 561-6 now works for a private contractor, probably one working on the Prague-Ceske Budejovice corridor upgrade project, although I can't verify this. I don't recognize the logo. |

| Description: |
Ex-CD #740 619-2 now works, if I'm not mistaken, for a construction contracthr whose name is usually shortened to "Doprava," which means "transport" in Czech. At least, with the yellow and blue paint I'm assuming that, unless I'm missing something. That's Ex-CD #740 561-6 over on the left in the background. |

Tatra T3 Tram In Front Of The Severoceske Muzeum |
| Description: |
The tram ks a"Tatra T3, although I didn't get the number. The building is the North Bohemia Museum in Liberec, officially known as the Severoceske Muzeum, which is a history and sometimes art museum. I found one guide who spoke English, although I did have to communicate in Czech with everyone else, which was easier than I expected. |

There isn't anything special about this shot, other than that I find it addictively attract”ve in many ways. It's subjective, I guess. A Czech might think it looks horrible, but I like all the details in it. |

Hlavni Nadrazi Construction (date is a guess) |
| Description: |
In 2008, Hlavni Nadrazi was undergoing a long and thorough renovation, which was already several months old, and continues as I write this a year later. When I took this, the tracks under the trainshed were being rebuilt, and most of this work is done now, the project having shifted to the station building. In 2007, the trainshed still looked almost steam-era, today it looks almost modern, although many of the historic features, like the trainshed itself, have been retained. |

CD 471010-9 After Arrival at Kutna Hora Hlavni Nadrazi |
| Description: |
I shot most of my Kutna Hora pictures on Ektachrome, and from the look of how grainy these shots are, grainier than any slides Ive ever done, Im assuming it was Elite 400, although I seem to remember it being 200. I really doubt that 200 could look this bad, though, at least at full resolution. Oddly, the main reason Im not posting more of these is that most of them are going to end up in an NRHS slide show sooner or later. Theyre the main shots I have of this trip, so Im hoping that the story and the subject matter will be more important than resolution.... |

CD #471017-4 Preparing to Depart Kutna Hora Hlavni Nadrazi |
| Description: |
Heres the train that I took home. Worth noting in this photo is the ad on the side of the train, for a movie, Gympl, which glorifies grafitti vandals who trash trains. Its typical of the kinds of self-defeating ads that public transport services accept, and begs the question once again of why theyre tolerated. |

CD 113003-8 |
| Description: |
Now...back to the electric railway to Bechyne. This was the train I took, not the preserved original one (which does occassionally run railfan trips), but the modern one, however loose a sense. This Class 113 electric is probably about 30 years old or more, and would never normally be used for much but switching the yard of a large mainline station, but obviously it would be wasteful and bad for the track on this single-track branch to have a 163 or 363 class running this service. The dim light you see here is partly an illusion, as it was slightly gloomy out by this time of day, it was late in the day, and I only had 200 ISO film. This, however, was one of my last shots before I switched to Tri-X, which is 400. |

In The Snow |

I just spotted this shot going through this particular roll of slides, and decided to include it simply because I like how it looks. The fact that snow was still on the ground in late March illustrates that, even in the global-warming era, rural Bohemia still has proper winters. |

Nadrazi Sudomerice u Bechyne |
| Description: |
This was maybe the most important station on the route...it actually had a passing siding!! Generally, this line was one of the crudest electric railways that Ive ever been on, but there were passengers on the train, to be sure, and there is something charming about primitive branchlines, even if modernization would encourage more "normal" (non-railfan) people to ride. |

Nadrazi Tabor |
| Description: |
This was when I arrived in Tabor, where I had been a number of times before riding through, but had never noticed the size of this station. It sort of looks like a minor through or even branchline station thats been multiplied in length, and maybe thats what the architects intended in order to save money. Tabor is actually a terminal station and a junction, however, as the line the Bechyne originates here, commonly referred to as the Frantisek Krizik Electric Railway. This line happens to be the oldest in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, being constructed in 1903, but more on that in a moment... |

Train to Bechyne, Picture 2 |
| Description: |
Here the train is entering the wye at Bechyne Zastavka, a request station that is the last on the line before Bechyne. The wye serves two purposes, however. A locomotive that can only be easily run in one direction can be turned around on it, its true, but the Class 113 is a unidirectional locomotive, theres a passing siding at Bechyne, and most importantly, theres a freight customer on the wye. |

Wooden Freight Vans |
| Description: |
One of the more surprising things I spotted on this trip were these wooden freight vans, or boxcars in American terminology. These went out of service in the U.S. in the 1950s, for the most part, and in most of Europe by the 1980s, but if you really scout around Eastern Europe it still is sometimes possible to find them. |

CD 749006-3 at Praha Hlavni Nadrazi |
| Description: |
Here my train is waiting to leave Hlavni Nadrazi on the first leg of my trip to Litomerice, mostly on advice on my Lonely Planet guidebook. Ive been trying to check off the more important historic cities and attractions in the Czech Republic, one by one, and because I was starting to run out of ideas I decided to do some research. This first connection to Vsetaty would actually take me through unelectrified territory, so thats why we ended with with a Class 749 diesel. |

| Description: |
Eventually, I decided to walk onto one of the bridges over the River Labe to get a more panoramic view of the city, but another advantage was that I got this series of freight train photos, all of them brutal-looking enough to remind me of the Mohawk Division, even if the mainline through Litomerice is electrified and the Mohawk Division is not. |

Light Crane |
| Description: |
One oddity that I saw in Vsetaty was this light crane. Im not sure what it would be able to lift on a railway, given how heavy everything tends to be, but it looks like this one was being used to handle track ties (sleepers in British English), which in my experience weigh 300lbs. or less if theyre wood. In this case, though, pretty much all of the ties, but in use and disused, appeared to be concrete, meaning that they would be considerably heavier. |

Nadrazi Vsetaty |
| Description: |
Nadrazi Vsetaty is a little bit unusual in that it is sort of placed in the middle of a railyard instead of to the side of it. Im not even sure how people are supposed to get to it to catch their trains other than by crossing the tracks, which seems risky. I didnt have to do this, however, as I was only changing trains. |

Old Nadrazi Litomerice? |

CD 363084-5 at Praha Hlavni Nadrazi |
| Description: |
I took this at the start of my Sedlcany trip back at the beginning of the summer in 2008. This was the locomotive that would take my train (bound for Ceske Budejovice) to Olbramovice, where I would change for the branch to Sedlcany. |

Just randomly, I also discovered this old CSD-era cargo container being used, Im assuming, as a shed, still painted for CSD. |

ex-CSD Reporting Marks Plate |
| Description: |
One thing thats fairly easy to find on Ceske Drahy passenger coaches are these little reporting marks plates on the steps. Since the vast majority of CD stock is still left over from the Communist, and therefore CSD, days, most of these are actually CSD plates, altered in one way or another to read "CD." The purpose of these escapes me, though, as they arent particularly visible when the doors are shut, theyre not a good quick reference for passengers today since even passenger equipment in Europe is interchanged, and in any case there are far clearer markings on the sides of the cars, albeit often obscured by grafitti, at least in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. |

Nadrazi Olbramovice from the Street |
| Description: |
This is the station at Olbramovice, which isnt as small as you might expect. I took this from the street in front, as I wasnt in a mad rush to get my next train. |

Nadrazi Vrchotovy Janovice |
| Description: |
This was one of the smallest, but not the smallest, station on this route. Many Czech branchline stations are among the smallest in the world, consisting only of sheltered benches, but this one was a bit bigger. |

This was the most successful of my attempts to shoot a picture out of the windows of #810472-1, which would be the only railbus, and only car, on my train that day. |
