Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Hostivice

Hostivice is a suburb of Prague, and is one of the stations on the way to Kladno, where there is a small airport. The line is unelectrified, so most of the services are either Class 854 DMU's, like the one I rode, or Class 810 railbuses, seen here.

About a week after I went to Neratovice, I went to Hostivice, a smaller town also close to Prague. The trains there are often even smaller, appropriately enough for the town, often consisting of mere railbuses.

Services through Hostivice are still partly loco-hauled, as illustrated by this Class 714 diesel.

This is Nadrazi Hostivice, which still has the old steam-era signage on it.

I also got a chance in November to briefly visit Hostivice, where I can't remember if I've been before. It's an interesting place, and I wouldn't mind returning to learn more about the place. This is one of the churches in the center of town.
