The class 831 railcars are now more than 45 years old but they're still going strong. The steeply graded Hanusovice - Jesenik line is a demanding environment for any traction and the rugged old 831s still seem capable of taking the hills in their stride. They make a nice noise too.

831 105 was photographed drawing to a halt at Ramzova, the summit of the line, with Os3608, the 12:22 Jesenik - Olomouc, on 18 August 2006.
