Most of the DC electric locos seen on passenger services around the capital in 2006 were based at Praha Vrsovice depot but some did work in from outside, notably Ceska Trebova's class 163s. These engines shared fast passenger duties on the Hradec Kralove route with Praha based class 150s.
163 073 was leaving Praha hl.n. with R748, the 13:06 Mezimesti to Praha Smichov on 11 June 2006.
