Mon 16 May 2011

A day of dark clouds and occasional brilliant sunny periods. Most of the trains came in the former but I did manage four shots in sun, three of the same train, R901 hauled by 754.020 for a change. The other 754 in action was 754.031.

The elusive midday freight actually ran today and was even photographed in sun coming off the Javornik branch. It sat at Lipova Lazne for over an hour before following R904 southwards. Sp1703 was on time today but the afternoon freight still came in the later path, leaving Hanusovice at 15:10. Maybe that’s its regular slot now. It’s good news if it is as the light angle is much better by the time it reaches the Branna/Ostruzna area.

After seeing the afternoon freight leaving Hanusovice I drove back to Praha Airport for the easyJet flight back to Gatwick.

Another trip over, all I need now is a very long rest from driving after covering over 8000km in the last couple of months.
