JHMD Px48-1916 (ex-PKP) Jindřichův Hradec
Jindřichův Hradec is the centre of a narrow-gauge (760mm) railway which operates regular passenger services and occasional excursions. This Polish 750mm-gauge loco was built by WZBUP in 1955 and acquired by the JHMD (Jindřichohradecké místní dráhy) in 2005. It is preparing for an early New Year special train outside the shed here on 30 December 2015. Unfortunately, it was a poor timekeeper on the outward journey - a fellow traveller blames poor quality coal for the several extended stops to make steam on the outward, uphill journey. Photo taken on my phone and tweaked a bit.
