Wed 11 May 2011

There wasn’t a cloud in the sky in the Roznava area all morning but there weren’t any freights either. That’s not strictly true, I did see the back end of one disappearing near Plesivec around 06:30, as I was driving out to Gemer, and the Dobsina pick-up came through Vidova at lunchtime while I was set up for something going the other way.

It didn’t get any better at Holisa,between Filakovo and Lucenec, a shot that’s only any good for westbounds, when two eastbound freights passed in quick succession.

Later in the afternoon there were a couple of trains of continuous welded rail at Slatinka but the first went through as I arrived, leaving the other as the only freight photographed today. At least it was an interesting combination of locos, both the right way round for once.

A little later a great fat cloud came and sat in front of the sun and stayed there for two hours until I gave up for the day.

Of course there were also the passenger trains. Just as well, as the day would have been an almost complete disaster without them. One unexpected working was 750.194 on Os6219, the 17:44 Zvolen - Filakovo, a train I thought was booked for a unit. On 3 May when I arrived in Zvolen from Vrutky, coincidentally behind 750.194, the platform indicator showed the next departure to be the 17:44 to Filakovo. I assumed the indicator was a bit premature and a unit would work the train but maybe the loco haulage is regular.
