A frustrating day at the east end of line 160 with enough trains and a good deal of sunshine but rarely both at the same time. The morning started foggy so I checked out a few locations spotted from the train yesterday.
The spot near Hrhov that I chose to photograph the morning passenger must have been one of the few places where the fog didn’t clear in time but that wasn’t obvious when I went there. The rest of the day was spent around Jovice watching the light disappear almost every time a train appeared. In total, six freights were seen, not bad for a Saturday with a late start and an early finish.
Ironically the late afternoon was spent driving to Michalovce, on the Banovce - Humenne line, in glorious sunshine.
I stayed at the Hotel Druzba in the town centre, a curious mixture of truly luxurious rooms and a restaurant stuck in a communist era time warp.
