The second day of the summer loco haulage season on the Ceske Budejovice - Nove Udoli line. In theory the four out and back turns booked for loco haulage should have been worked by class 754s instead of the class 749s that have traditionally worked these services. Reality was somewhat different with the first and last trains worked by 749.121 (a Praha engine) and 749.252 respectively. The second and third trains were worked by plain green 754.039 and 754.022 respectively.

There was a lot of high cloud around which took the edge off the light for most of the day. One of the few shots taken in bright sunshine was 749.252 at the number one location on my wanted list, on the curve in the woods approaching Stozec from the Cerny Kriz direction, so I was relatively un-grumpy at the end of the day.
