Czech Trip - Moravian Murk - February 2007

Czech Republic
This report describes a short spur-of-the-moment trip
to the Czech Republic. The intention was to spend 3
days on the Brno - Jihlava line, a route with a
reasonable level of locomotive haulage, nice scenery
and plenty of open locations suitable for low winter
sunshine. In the event there was no sun so most of
the time was spent travelling around.

How many railways in the world, let alone in Europe,
still use traction built in the 1920's in everyday
service? There can't be many but the Soller Railway
on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca is certainly
one. Trains continue to be operated by 1929 vintage,
wooden bodied power cars hauling strings of even
older trailers. The opportunity to photograph them
arose during a short family visit to Mallorca in
February 2007.

China - Steam
The JiTong Railway's Daban - Chabuga section was the
last place in the world that you could see main line
steam in action. It isn't as spectacular as JIngpeng
Pass but it was still well worth visiting. The
landscape is attractive and varied with enough
bridges, curves, semaphore signals and hills to keep
visiting photographers busy. These galleries contain
pictures taken on the line between 2003 and the end
of steam working in 2005.
