A good day on line 170 north of Zvolen, although I had to move around a bit to avoid the worst of the cloud. The day started and ended at Velka Luka, between Zvolen and Banska Bystrica with the middle of the day spent at Harmanec Jaskyna and Dolny Harmanec on the climb north of Banska Bystrica.
I finally got a shot, several shots in fact, of electric locos on the Zvolen - Banska Bystrica line. The trains that were booked for 240s ran with 240s but the two that were booked for 263s both turned up behind CD 242s. R811 was also a 242 vice 263 when I rode it last Friday.
I was expecting a northbound freight sometime during the afternoon but the motive power was a pleasant surprise, a pair of Prievidza 751s, rather than the anticipated pair of 756s. Another pleasant surprise, after being forced back to Velka Luka by advancing clouds, was getting immaculate 754.054 in full sun, less than a minute before the light finally disappeared for the day.
