When I took this, I hadn't done any rail photography in Hostivar for awhile. The intermodal freights through Hostivar seem to be increasing in length, over 40 wagons (cars), which is probably good news both for business and the environment. Electric locomotives are ideal for this given their greater power, on average, than diesels, and Czech electrics are generally geared for slow speeds, which in this case is another advantage.
