Late-day Sunlight on Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Cropped Version, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

This was my last shot of my railfanning session, in which I tried to capture the late-day sunlight on Hlavni Nadrazi. Although my Nokia 301 cameraphone was limited, being a cameraphone, it did occassionally have decent luck with sunsets, and not only while pointing directly into the sun.

Ceske Drahy #150210-3 is a class 150 electric locomotive, which is typically used on express passenger trains, as seen here. These units like the Class 362 and 363 classes, date to the Communist era, having been introduced in 1978 (the Class 362/363 units date to 1980-1990). Consequently, they are only capable of operating at up to 140Km/h, or 86 m.p.h. They are more powerful than the Class 363 units, at about 5364 horsepower (converted from 4000 Kw). However, they only can run on 3000 volts DC. In any event, the slightly higher performance of these units means that they are more likely than the Class 363 units to be seen on international services. I am not aware if this train was coming in from Linz, Graz Wien/Vienna, or from a domestic origin to the south, though.

Class 471 "City Elefant" EMU Departing Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

This was another service operating by a Class 471 "City Elefant" EMU, this time entirely in the new blue livery. This service, while I have been unable to identify it, was almost certainly a local service to either Strancice, or Benesov via Strancice.

This was a second shot of the City Elefant arrival, illustrating that this was actually a two-unit lashup of three bi-level coaches, for a total of six. The rear trainset still has the original red, white, and blue City Elefant livery, which has been replaced by the more generic two-tone blue used on local electric trains on Ceske Drahy. Starting from about 2010, Ceske Drahy actually began using the two-tone blue not only on the City Elefant, but on all passenger stock, even the express stock, although this repainting project didn't affect the majority of stock until about 2013. By 2015, it was starting to become rare to see the older liveries.

This was another shot I took from Spanelska, overlooking the south/west throat of Hlavni Nadrazi. This Class 471 "City Elefant" EMU was actually arriving with a local service (although I don't know which one), rather than departing. These are obviously bi-level units, and have largely been used to replace the Communist-era EMU's like the Class 451 and 452 "Pantograph" or "City Frog" units. By 2015, there were few, if any, Communist-era units left, and by 2018 they were gone except for on excursions. Also, by 2015, they generally only worked services out of platforms 1-4, but that was only incidental. Part of the reason was that they had recently been replaced on the locals to Strancice and Benesov (via Strancice) out of platform 7.

Express Train (rychlik?) Departing Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

This was the first in a series of photos I took while railfanning at Praha hlavni nadrazi. This overlook, from a parking lot on Spanelska, overlooking the south/west throat of Hlavni Nadrazi, is a favorite with railfans who want to get photos. Within a few metres of this spot is probably the most popular spot, on Vinohradska immediately above the tunnel entrances. The railway tunnels at Hlavni Nadrazi are actually the ones from the 1966 Czech film Sedmikrasky. The express train on the right is probably headed for Ceske Budejovice, the most common destination for express trains from platforms 6 and 7. The other likely destination would be Linz. That electric locomotive is probably a Class 362 or 363, which are multi-voltage locomotives with between 4104 horsepower and 4667 horsepower, depending on the voltage used. Their maximum speed is only 75 m.p.h., but this route (via Cercany and Benesov) isn't very fast until you get south of Cercany. Both express and local trains on the Prague-Benesov route consistently use platforms 6 and 7 at Hlavni Nadrazi.

I took this photo immediately after returning to Prague from Fluff Fest, and initially I had skipped over it, not planning on an iPernity upload. However, while reviewing one last time, I decided to include it, as I liked how it was composed. If you look carefully, you can see "hlavni nadrazi" reflected in the train window from the platform sign.

Nicholas Winton Memorial in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi, Prague, CZ, July 2015

I don't normally put the month in the titles of my photos, but in this case it's significant, as this was less than two weeks after the death of Nicholas Winton at 106 years old (he died on July 1st, 2015). Wikipedia describes him as a "humanitarian," which doesn't do him full justice, as he became best known for having rescued 669 children from the Nazis, arranging for their transport to London (by rail, sea, and air, but primarily by rail) on what became known as the Kindertransport.

The bronze statue behind the candles was actually added within his lifetime, as was another memorial in the passenger tunnel from the platforms, portraying a train door. The candles were added to both memorials to commemorate him after his death.

This is a view of the platform at Cernosice-Mokropsy. The station is advertised as having only one platform, which is true, but the platform serves both tracks.

Although, as a facility, Nadrazi Cernosice-Mokropsy dates to 1862, my sense is that this station is mostly not original, as the buildings appear to be from a 1933 reconstruction (https://www.atlasdrah.net/cz/stredocesky/?id=baza&poz=12805). I've been through this station many times, as it is on the Prague-Beroun mainline (Linka 171), which ultimately continues to Plzen (via Linka 170), but I have only occasionally been out of the train, on the platform. In this case, I had been dropped off to take the train home to Prague. I have so far been unable to uncover much more information on this station, as it is one of the smaller ones on the Ceske Drahy network.

This was the colour-coded recycling bin on the platform of Nadrazi Cernosice-Mokropsy. I took this picture because it included a bin for metal recycling, something that wasn't generally offered in Prague (and, as far as I know, still isn't), in spite of metal being one of the least complicated things to recycle.

This is the station building at Cernosice-Mokropsy. This building looks like it could have been built since 1933, although some buildings in 1933 already looked like this. Ceske Drahy still advertise a staffed ticket office here (as of 2024).

Diffuse daylight refracted from a CD of Mahler's Symphony No.6 "Tragic", which you might enjoy listening to here. With the dreadful floods and fires around the world, associated with climate change, this seemed appropriate.

Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake
For I have plowed the seas, and smoothed the troubled waters
Come along and let's have some fun, the hard work has been done
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for starters

Just for starters, barometer is my soup
I'm descended from a deck hand on a sloop
I travel on the song lines that only dreamers see
Not known for predictability

Sail the main course in a simple sturdy craft
Keep her well stocked with short stories and long laughs
Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see
Moderation seems to be the key

Constantly searching
Oh my eyes have seen some horizons
And I've crossed the oceans
For more than just thrills
No I'm not the first
Won't be the last
You lust for the future
But treasure the past
