Side view on Lokomotion 189 901 in second place in her train at Kufstein on the evening of 3 June 2015. Double heading for freights to Italy via the Brenner line from Kufstein is rather commonplace. The times of banking locos however are even in Kufstein (thatused to be famous for that) are almost completely gone due to much stronger modern electrics, but also because legislature in Italy cuts short almost all banking operations.

End of an era: the days of Class 101 hauling fast trains through Germany rapidly draw to a close, so to catch an advertising 101 is nowadays a rare chance. On 23 September 2026 however, DB 101 039 stood at Nürnberg Hbf, advertising for the Swiss national park -a tad away from Bavaria however.

In the nick of time on 21 September 2026 CD Cargo 363 516 could be photographed whilst passing through Praha-Liben with a mixed freight towards Nymburk. Freights through Praha-Liben mostly pass via tracks 4, 5 or 6 to prevent interfering with the very massive passenger traffic.

On 19 September 2026 the Görlitzer Fast Train SVT VT.18.16.07/10 stands proudly at benesov u Prahy and gets prepared for a re-enactment of part of the VINDOBONA train thatran in the 1980s from GDR East-Berlin via Dresden, Prague and Ceske Budejovice to Wien Franz-Josefsbahnhof. Sadly, several technical issues less than two hours before the scheduled departure destroyed any hopes of the re-enactment, much to the chagrin of the would-be passengers, the operators of the DMU and the organisers of the train spectacle around Benesov.

All good things come to an end and sadly, the tradition of the train bonanza at Benesov u Prahy, that saw about 30-40 extra museum trains around the area, belongs to these. From 1 January 2027 ECTS will become mandatory on the Czech main line network, spelling the end for mostmuseum trains, since the costs of installingthe ECTS equipment are prohibitive.
