09 September 2010

Anticipating another dull day, I headed west to see what was happening on the Brno - Jihlava line and was taken aback when the sun came out. It took a while to find a photo location. The first candidate, at the west end of Kralice station, has become very overgrown since I was last there. Eventually a spot was found near Vysoke Popovice and a few trains were photographed in good light.

After a couple of hours, I returned to the Brno - Veseli line and checked out a few spots around Brankovice. Again, most have become overgrown since I was last there. The sky stayed resolutely overcast to the east of Brno until sunset.

It was a traumatic experience to see that 754.037 had been repainted in the new apology for a livery. What a sad fate for such a smart engine. On a happier note, it was good to see two 850s out today.
