CD 751004-3 and 451004 in the Snow, Picture 2
Title:  CD 751004-3 and 451004 in the Snow, Picture 2
Description:  While I was waiting at the crossing for the train to come, I noticed #751004-3 deadheading 451004 on one of the main tracks, although it was stopped. There was also so MOW equipment on the consist further back. I couldnt tell if the 451 was headed for scrapping, repair, or simply another assignment, but I expect that many 451s will be scrapped soon with the arrival of new "City Elefant" EMUs. The 751 diesels are just as old, though, also dating back to the 1960s. #751004-3 still carries its CSD number on side, this being #T4781004. I dont know if this is for historic purposes (maybe its is slated for preservation), or if its simple laziness, but its interesting anyway.

CD 451019-9 at Nadrazi Senohraby
Title:  CD 451019-9 at Nadrazi Senohraby
Description:  Nadrazi Senohraby was recently modernised, and so Ive been taking more photos there this year than in the past. The trains, however, are often still ancient, like this Class 451 "Pantograph" EMU from the 1960s.

CD 451035-0, 452005-2, and 296 in the Snow
Title:  CD 451035-0, 452005-2, and 296 in the Snow
Description:  This shot more than most that Ive done lately illustrates the advantages of shooting film. I like the shot as it was shot, but this lineup of the two different "Pantograph" EMU classes, plus the crane, is better for the internet, so I cropped. The result? The photo is more or less as good as before, in spite of having used 35mm color print film, which other than the 110 stuff that my Fisher-Price used to take, is more or less the bottom-of-the-range when it comes to film technology.

CD 451060-9 Arriving (date is guessed)
Title:  CD 451060-9 Arriving (date is guessed)
Description:  451s are very common on local services on electrified lines on Ceske Drahy, and I've already discussed them in detail elsewhere. This one is arriving from Benesov U Prahy with a local, and will also form the return service after unloading.

CD 451060-9
Title:  CD 451060-9
Description:  This is #451060-9 after working a service from Prague, waiting at Cercany for the highball to Benesov U Prahy, where it will terminate and switch direction to work a return service to Prague. Notice the Class 810 railbus and the freight to the right. Cercany is a very busy station, in spite of Cercany being a relatively small town. There's plenty of business, too, as the only reason the platform isn't crawling with people is that the train is already loaded.

CD 451065-7 "City Frog" in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi
Title:  CD 451065-7 "City Frog" in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi
Description:  Heres my latest spotting of #451065-7 "City Frog," so named as a parody of the new Class 471 "City Elephant" EMUs. Still no word on who did this, or whether it was authorised.

CD 452006-0 Arrival at Nadrazi Hostivar
Title:  CD 452006-0 Arrival at Nadrazi Hostivar
Description:  This was my train arriving to take me to Cercany. When I flew into Prague, it was already snowing, and we were almost delayed by the weather, and a few days later Prague was still under snow, giving me the chance to take a lot of snow pictures.

CD 452013-6
Title:  CD 452013-6
Description:  Class 451 and 452 EMUs, built by Stud/MEZ and Tatra from 1964-1968 and 1972-1973 respectively, make up a very large proportion of mainline commuter and local services in Bohemia, although it could be said they're long past their heyday. The reasons, in my opinion, are their advanced age, their noisiness, their jerky acceleration (which can cause standees to lose their balance), their inadequate maximum speed of 100Km/h (at least given the line upgrades coming in the near future), the spartanness of their accomodations (even local trains in Europe are generally nicer than on the "Pantographs," as these machines are commonly called), and the fact that they haven't been properly maintained or secured as of late, so vandalism and filth have really taken their toll. Nevertheless, I'm very happy to see that Bohemia still HAS local rail service, as without it, Cesky Drahy would be a far less practical option, and would lose both political support and ridership. This was taken in Mrac, where I had just gotten off a local service from Praha Hlavni Nadrazi (Prague) to Benesov U Prahy. I've had to do a lot of retouching on this photo to correct the colors and (some of) the scanner lines, but some of the "poor resolution" is really fog.

CD 452013-6
Title:  CD 452013-6
Description:  I took this on October 12th, right after getting off train #Os9608 (I think). It's pulling away in this picture, rather than into the station. You just can't tell because the markers aren't lit, although note that it's running on the right. This EMU, CD#452 013-6, also works the locals to Benesov, and I've ridden on it many, many times.

CD 452013-6 At Hlavni Nadrazi
Title:  CD 452013-6 At Hlavni Nadrazi
Description:  Class 451 and 452 EMUs are a necessary evil of travelling on Ceske Drahy. They're noisy, old, dirty, slow, rough-running, heavily vandalised, and laughably out of date, but they're often the only trains working the line you need to travel, and they rarely break down, actually. Here Ceske Drahy #452 013-6, a 452 Class EMU, waits to work a local service to Benesov U Prahy.

CD 452013-6 Waiting For The Highball
Title:  CD 452013-6 Waiting For The Highball
Description:  As #451060-9 was waiting for the highball, #452013-6 pulled in with a local for Praha Hlavni Nadrazi. It was the early afternoon, so the glare to the right is the setting winter sun.

CD 471010-9 After Arrival at Kutna Hora Hlavni Nadrazi
Title:  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 471016-6 at Masarykovo Nadrazi
Title:  CD 471016-6 at Masarykovo Nadrazi
Description:  This was, unless Im mistaken, the start of my Kutna Hora trip, although I note that the number on this Class 471 "City Elephant" EMU doesnt match the one from my arrival photo. I dont remember which one I actually took, or if it was a twin set.

CD #471017-4 Preparing to Depart Kutna Hora Hlavni Nadrazi
Title:  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 682003-9 in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Picture 2
Title:  CD 682003-9 in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Picture 2
Description:  This was a closeup I did to get the number. I guess it can be left up to the viewer to decide if this one is any good. I think the lightpost blocks the view of the nose too much, but I decided to include this one anyway.

Title:  CD 682003-9 in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Cropped Version
Description:  I also spotted the Pendolino, or rather #682003-9, one of several Pendolino tilt trains on Ceske Drahy, sitting in another platform.

CD 682004-7
Title:  CD 682004-7
Description:  After walking through Fantova Kavarna, I got lost in the construction, and ended up on Nastupiste (Platform) 1, where this Pendolino was sitting. Given that I dont get a shot of these every day, I took the picture even though my Ikoflex was empty and so I only had the cameraphone (as was the case with the earlier Hlavni Nadrazi shots in this series).
