Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: heating

Here's one of the steam radiators. These may look strangely crude, but this same type of finned piping is used to make radiators in many Czech buildings too.

Here's another shot of the smoking coal stoves, only with the Nadrazi Branik station (nadrazi actually means "station" in Czech, so I'm using this incorrect terminology for the English speakers) building visible.

These vintage coaches, partly of wooden construction, would form the consist for the steam excursion to Krivoklat that I posted photos from a few months ago. I took these photos largely to illustrate their coal-fired heating stoves, as although they were built during World War II, they were about 70 years out of date even then, with these stoves for heating, as well as, usually, four-wheel wooden construction.

Ceskoslovenske Drahy used coal stoves for heating trains until surprisingly late in their history, and this particular passenger car wasn't built until the early 1940s, although it looks 100 years older because of all the wooden construction, and if you could see the outside, it's 4-wheel undercarriage, devoid of modern trucks or bogies. Rolling stock like this could be seen in Czech movies as late as the 1980s, although I don't know the precise year that they were pulled from regular service.
