Cheb Express
In addition to the class 714 and 742 worked local passengers, the Mezimesti line saw a couple of long distance passengers hauled by class 749 diesels. When the photo was taken on 29 April 2005 these trains were worked by Liberec based class 749s but Letohrad based members of the class took over from the December 2005 timetable change. 749 179 was working train R743, the 04:21 Cheb to Mezimesti fast passenger, which it had hauled from Jaromer. The location is near the level crossing between Bohdasin and Brezova u Broumova.
