24. květen 2011: Zapomenutej ropovod / The Forgotten One
(for English see below)
Ta pánská jízda mířila přes celý Čechy. Ze severu až na Šumavu, která tehdy ještě nabízela tu "starou dráhu" se vším všudy. Zajímavé náklady, na osobácích bardotky se smíšenou soupravou pater a rychlíkáčů...ale taky tohle. Jo, šukafonovej ropovod. Věc, která vymřela ze všech vzpomínek na devadesátá a nultá léta úplně nejrychleji.
Tehdy bych vám, jako cestující, odpřísáhnul, že to bude jenom dobře. Jako fotograf procházející svůj archiv, to tak jasně nevidím. Mělo to svý kouzlo.
Barevný ropovod s 809.208 v čele opouští coby vlak 8122/23 do Českých Budějovic zastávku Třísov. Dvacetiminutové zpoždění k době taky tak nějak patřilo...
************************************************
If there is something really forgotten that tells more of the 1980s and 1990s on railways in Czechoslovakia. We used to call it "the pipeline".
Sometimes we tend to remember only the nice things. Big locomotives, long express trains. From what I remember, the real railway experience could look like this with the same probability.
Light DMUs of class 810 were supposed to be just a supplement for short routes, as this has never been more than a primitive railbus. However, the fundamental flaws in the Eastern Bloc industry made them produced in large numbers and instead of more ambitious DMUs. Guess what happened? Yes, you could meet them anywhere in such quantities and in consists that were nor reasonable, nor comfortable.
Back in the 2000s, this image was disappearing rapidly and we, trainspotters, took almost no notice. This makes this picture pretty worthy.
It is 24th of May, 2011, and one of already rare "pipelines" leaves the station Třísov and heads to České Budějovice, South Bohemia. If there was a daring passenger who went all the way with this train, he had already spent some two hours on the hard bench and with very limited ventilation. In numbers: almost 90 kilometres with this.
Yes, that is why no one really missed that. Apart from us, trainspotters.
