EUROPEAN RAILWAYS of the 1990s
Praha-Vršovice (Prague) (Czech Republic ČD) on 21st March 1997
Back in Prague (Praha) in very wet conditions, I called into this station to see what activity would transpire. I noticed many Diesel Locomotive hauled trains, some heading off towards Dobříš about 25 miles to the South West of Prague and most traffic heading onto the main route towards Čerčany and further East. Even in the gloomy weather conditions the trains looked bright and fairly clean and with plenty of activity made the 2 hours I was there go quickly. Note the Blue ground signals.. This country offered such a variety of railway traffic and the staff were so hospitable, I just hope things and attitudes have not changed as they have in most other places. Anyone familiar with the area covered I hope will be immersed into the days and era of the material featured. I hope this series will appeal to the BR enthusiast as well as the European enthusiasts and again feel free to comment on any material or subscribe and like to the channel to help support it's growing popularity.

Slightly before my first trips out there (2002). Fascinating stuff. I worked and lived there for 10 years and my wife is Czech. We live here in the UK but have a house out there not far from Praha. I get out there regularly on spotting trips. It is changing rapidly, so people need to get out there and Slovakia before the interesting stuff has gone forever.

První Elefanty jezdily jen na Kolín, takže tady se daly chytit max při najíždění z ONJ na Masaryčku. A v tom 97 jich bylo v provozu opravdu pár a jestli vůbec, když video je z března.
