Superb little video… do we know when it is expected that the dragging will finish and electric overhead power restored?

Thanks! At least until end of November as far as I know. The changed timetables are valid until December 11: www.cd.cz/jizdni-rad/omezeni-provozu/vyluka/11547/

@@ronik24 thanks very much. I travelled over there in early September and was shocked at the level of destruction in some places between Breclav and Hodonin. I travelled on a few EC trains with a CD 380 and of course they were dragged by a CD754 and did not lose too much time on that section. It was strange that the electric loco often had its pantograph raised!

@@simonpilk I think that is because electric traction is helping on the unaffected sections, you can hear it: 8:06 the 754 alone could not accelerate this train that quickly 8:41 8:48

Klasse Video 💪Gerade am Schluss wundert man sich zuerst, wie schnell die Taucherbrille anzieht und beschleunigt. Aber mit einer 380er dahinter, bzw. einem ET am Haken, geht es dann recht fix los. Der Tf wird jedes Mal seine helle Freude daran haben. 😃 BG Bernd
