The class 831 railcars were over 45 years old but they were still going strong on the Jesenik line in the summer of 2006. The steeply graded line from Hanusovice was a demanding environment for any traction but the rugged old 831s seemed capable of taking the hills in their stride. They make a nice noise too.
831.105 was photographed pulling away from Ramzova, the summit of the line, with Os3608, the 12:22 Jesenik - Olomouc, on 18 August 2006.
