Even a tough winter can't stop these immortals!



There's no other loco like Bardotka. I don't care about any historical reasons and I'm not orthodox lover of classes 751/749, but there are few facts why are these vehicles so popular:
- easy to operate, without any electronical troubleshooters
- more effective in lower speeds than classes 750/3/4
- almost every depot can do the maintenance
...and it's nice 🙂
But because of its age, their withdrawning from the passenger operation is almost done, so you can only see them pulling some freight trains, or as haulers of nostalgic trains.
