| Description: |
Here our train was just coming into view, allowing us also to see the ancient station building of Stara Hut, over in the distance to the right of the train. This shot I think conveys the simplicity of this station, as the only serious construction that went into it was the platform, which is so low that in the United States the train would probably be equipped with stepboxes. Czechs, however, are generally more fit than Americans. |

| Description: |
Here our train can be seen in full view, a Class 714 diesel and three 010 four-wheel coaches. It looks crude, and it is, although not unusable. The train was packed on this particular day. |

| Description: |
While the station makeover at Nadrazi Cercany is quite extensive, the only new trains serving Cercany in 2009 were "City Elephant" liveried Class 471 EMUs, and even they had occassionally worked the main since their introduction to the Ceske Drahy system. The traditional Class 451 and 452 "Pantograph" EMUs, in spite of many predictions that they would be eliminated, continued to cover most of the mainline local services, including the re-classified "S9" service, which was really just a continuation of the Prague-Benesov services that had been running for decades. The branchline services to Sazava, Dobris, and other such places continued to be covered mostly by Class 810 railbuses, and Class 714 diesels like this one pulling 010 Class four-wheel coaches (basically unpowered 810s). The Cercany-Prague services via Vrane nad Vltavou, incidentally, were still also worked by the very old Russian-style bi-level coaches pulled by Class 742 and 749 diesels. |
