"Her last days" Retro Painted České Dráhy 151 Class Passenger electric, numbered 023-9 with the daily "Ec241 Košičian" Intercity train from Prague 🇨🇿 to Košice 🇸🇰 in southern Slovakia passes the Foothills of the Tatra Mountains with what would be one of the last passenger trains this old gal' would pull. Two days later the engine was prepped cold and sent to Prague on a passenger train in Bohumín. Due to the immediate introduction of ETCS in all engines and mainlines in the Czech Republic, the Skoda 150 and 151 series (as in the photo) have been slightly retired with many examples retired and with some still running. Many of the 150 & 151 Škodas were assigned to operate express trains on the Prague - Děčín line. The inability to install ETCS devices in these locomotives resulted in their discontinuation for the most part and their replacement with new Siemens Vectrons.
