I had planned to head down to the Brno area today, en-route to Zvolen, but the forecast for most of the Czech Republic and Slovakia was pretty grim. For once, the Liberec area had the best of the weather with almost unbroken sunshine all day.
The morning was spent north of Frydlant but only one freight was seen, a northbound around midday when the sun was really too high for quality photography. The return working came in much better light at a much better location, vindicating the decision to stay. There was no sign of the real 753s today but a set of light engines did go north in the late afternoon again, four 753.7s this time. The first pair were good enough to return with a freight just before the light went.
Passenger wise, the morning trains north of Frydlant were worked by 810.245 and the afternoon trains between Liberec and Frydlant were covered by 814.211/2 and 814.215/6.
