City Elefant on a Viaduct, Karlin, Prague, CZ, 201…

I don't have the number of this EMU, but it's definitely a Ceske Drahy Class 471, or "City Elefant." This viaduct is one of several Karlin has had over the years, and is one of the older ones surviving. Here it crosses Sokolovska on the way to Holesovice in the north of the city.

This was an alternate to the shot I posted earlier of this same train. Here you can see the sillouettes of the auto racks better.

This was a lucky shot that I got walking into Zizkov at dusk, which actually meant quite late at night, as during the summer in Prague it doesn't start to get dark until after 2100 hours. This looks to be a Class 111 with a rake of auto racks, although whether these are new cars or the cars of rail passengers (to be coupled to a long-distance passenger train) I don't know. The bridge was built after I moved to Prague, around 2007 or so (It took awhile to build, starting around 2005) as part of major rerouting of the mainlines through Karlin and Zizkov. On this particular night, I had the chance to walk one of the recently abandoned roadbeds (if I'm not mistaken), only recently converted to a bike path. It would be cool to post some info on that sometime soon, but I haven't got proper photos of it since I didn't have enough light on this particular night.
