A Narrow Escape
ALEX’s 183.004 was photographed south of Köfering, on the Regensburg - Landshut line, with ALX356, the 05:12 from Praha hln to München Hbf, on 8 May 2016. It only just escaped being wiped out by 183.001 going the other way with ALX 84104.The Praha - München service is an unusual international collaboration between a state operator (ČD) and an independent (ALEX), involving ALEX’s diesels running all the way to Plzeň, deep in Czech territory. The first four coaches on 183.004’s train are Czech Railways vehicles with a Restaurant/First immediately behind the loco.
