Quite soon to be gone are ceske Drahy Class 380 three phase current electrics. Class 380 have been a less-than-triumphant-Class of locos due to various problems concerning reliability. On 21 September 2026 CD 380 013 runs round at Praha hl.n. after having brought in a fast train from Ceske Budejovice -these Rychlíks and EuroCities between Praha and Linz Hbf via Ceske Budejovice  were untill 2025 almost monopolised by Class 380.

Arbeitsgemeinschaft Rübelandbahn 95 1027 lets off a bit of steam at CVhemnitz-Hilbersdorf on 21 August 2026. The kettle certificate of this loco was due to expire in November 2026 and there WERE no plans to restore the kettle, rendering this steam loco workless. After a massive public outcry and intervention of the Department of Tourism of Sachsen Land (Saxony), miraculously plans to yet restore the kettle are rumoured to have popped into existence.

Another big train bonanza, organised by Steam Story Agence, has come to an end. perhaps a rather definitive end sice from 1 January 2027 the Czech railways have upped their game with the installation of ECTS on their main lines.

SNCF C 20155 (UIC No. 97 85 1 932-0)—formerly SBB Ee 3/3 II 16515 and originally SNCF C 20155—owned by the  Team C-20155  association, is seen departing Balsthal, heading toward Klus. The three-light headlamp configuration indicates that this is a scheduled train movement. Designed as a shunter, the dual-system Ee 3/3 II was acquired by the SNCF—in a batch of nine units—to haul freight trains between Saint-Louis and Muttenz. This decision was prompted by complaints from local residents following the electrification of the SNCF line between Mulhouse and Basel. It is quite remarkable, considering that around 1960, Basel was still a stronghold for steam traction in Switzerland! Incidentally, years later, similar complaints prevented CC 72000 diesel locomotives from hauling long-distance trains (such as those on the Paris Est–Basel route) all the way to their destination; in most cases, the locomotives had to be changed in Belfort or Mulhouse. But back to the SNCF C 20155 (UIC No. 97 85 1 932-0)—formerly SBB Ee 3/3 II 16515—belonging to the  Team C-20155  association. The fact that this rare, one-off class of SNCF locomotive—which spent over a decade with the SNCF, followed by forty years in shunting service with the SBB, and was later saved from the scrapyard and restored to its original SNCF appearance—might seem surprising, and the decision was not entirely without controversy. Personally, however, I think it is an excellent outcome; it really allows this beautiful locomotive to stand out. Moreover, while the locomotive may have been used by the SNCF for mainline service—and in cross-border operations spent roughly half its time under the SNCF and half under the SBB—if one considers the actual territorial border, the SNCF C 20150 units traveled only three kilometers within France out of the total 15-kilometer stretch between Saint-Louis and Muttenz.
