Although Praha hl.n. saw a few 749 hauled trains at the weekend, weekday workings were rare. It was a very pleasant surprise to find two 749s there on the morning of Monday 26 June 2006. 749 140 had arrived on R831 from Chomutov dragging a failed class 854 railcar and two trailers. It was photographed removing the railcar while 749 251, on the left, waited to back down onto the stock and take it on to Tanvald as R942.
