Dual voltage electric 363 081 posed in front of the impressive station roof at Praha hlavni nadrazi (main station) on 28 April 2004. The Plzen based loco basked in the warm spring sunshine before returning to its home city with R854, the 14:20 fast train.
Although the Praha area is electrified at 3 KV DC, trains to the Plzen, Ceske Budejovice and Brno lines complete their journey under 25 kV AC wires. Dual voltage locos of classes 362 or 363 work most of these trains to avoid the need to change traction en-route.
