This is an original Prague Metro train, with only four cars on it. These are considered the Ecs Class, and were built by Metrovagonmash in the Soviet Union in 1974. They remained in service on the C Line until 1997, but ultimately were pulled from service prematurely because they were overweight and caused too much damage to Nuselsky Most. Amazingly, Nuselsky Most had been stress-tested by filling its street level entirely with Soviet tanks (I don't know the class, but in the films I've seen they look like T-55's or T-62's).
