Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: 451 Class

In spite of the vandalism mentioned earlier, and the advanced age of the Class 451 and 452 "Pantograph" EMU's, the units are still being repainted again and again. This was the first one that I saw in the new two-tone blue and grey local livery.

Recently, Ceske Drahy rebranded many of their local services out of Prague, using their new 471 and 971 EMUs, as "City Elephant" services. The old 451 and 452 pantographs have never been repainted, though, so some joker, either a vandal or an actual Ceske Drahy employee, has dubbed #451 076-4 "City Frog," I'm sure as a joke about how ridiculous the name is. If you can name a 471 an elephant when it doesn't have elephant ears or any other feature resembling an elephant, then why not call a 451 a frog? The "face" of it might actually look more like a frog than a 471 resembles an elephant, actually.
