The cold weather took it's toll on some locos including the Class 350s booked to work EuroCity services via Brno. EC172 "Vindobona" from Wien to Hamburg should have been 350 hauled but turned up with 363.023 instead. Despite the 363's 120 km/h maximum speed, compared with the 350's 160 km/h, the train was running less than 10 minutes late when it was photographed near Pardubice Opocinek on 23 January 2006.
