A strange sort of a day. It seemed that everywhere I went, a freight turned up soon afterwards. Unfortunately, the clouds were less co-operative and most trains seemed to be half lit although a couple did pass in full sun.
The forecast was better in the south, so I started by heading out on line 160. First stop was Podkrivan where the classic shot overlooking the curve was checked out. If I hadn’t photographed there almost a decade ago, I would never have believed there had been a photo position there at all. Sorry Brian, not worth bothering with.
Most of the morning was spent checking out line 160 east of Filakovo, where I’d seen some potential locations from the train. This took me to Tornala in time for the mid-morning passenger from Kosice. Being that close to Roznava, it seemed a shame not to have another go at the shots around Jovice I’d tried to get on Saturday and again on Monday. This time I wasn’t totally unsuccessful, getting one freight in full sun and another in half sun.
The rest of the day was spent near Holisa, between Lucenec and Filakovo. Os6215, booked for loco haulage turned up with an 813 instead. Probably revenge for Tuesday when Os6217 was loco vice railbus.
