05 September 2010

A second day on the Sumperk - Jesenik line. Despite a promising forecast it was mainly cloudy with occasional sunny breaks, a few of which actually coincided with passing trains. It was also a day of surprises with no less than three 749s out and only two 754s, both in nice liveries. R1403 from Brno was half an hour late and was the longest train I’ve ever seen on the line, consisting of a loco and eight coaches, although the rear two turned out to be an 843 and trailer. It’s more difficult to tell the difference between units and ordinary coaches with the new livery. The 843 dropped off at Lipova Lazne and ran round its trailer to form a truncated Sp1702 to Olomouc. Another loco plus railcar combo appeared during the afternoon when 749 246 piloted the 851 on Sp1703 to Jesenik. The 749 returned south almost immediately with R1400. The final surprise was 754 021 and 754 028 double heading R1402 from Jesenik. Both engines were definitely running but I couldn’t tell whether both were powering as I saw the train going downhill.
