Czech Trip - A Pomeranc in Praha - June 2006

Czech Republic
Praha is the hub of the Czech rail system and sees a
variety of classes working heavy freight and
passenger traffic on the electrified main lines
radiating from the city. A few less heavily
trafficked lines are still diesel worked and see some
loco haulage. The capital's main station, Hlavni
Nadrazi boasts an impressive overall roof and there
are pleasant photographic locations on a number of
lines in the greater Praha area. This report
describes a photographic trip to the city in late
June 2006.

Czech Trip - Ceska Trebova - June 2006

Czech Republic
This report covers a short trip to Ceska Trebova from
07 to 11 June 2006. This is one of the Czech
Republic's major rail centres, located at the
junction of the electrified main lines from Praha
(Prague) to the major cities of Brno and Ostrava. It
has marshalling yards, a large shed, a locomotive
works and plenty of passenger and freight trains
worked by a wide variety of electric locomotives.
The most scenic sections of the Praha - Ostrava main line lie either side of Ceska Trebova, making it a natural target for the photographer. However, my recent trips there have all suffered from poor weather and two have been notable for not producing a single decent photograph. Fortunately this time was different and there were some good sunny breaks as well as long cloudy periods.
