Here I am (second from the left) with three friends at Mladeč having arrived with our own charter train. At this time, this 6 km branch from Litovel předměsti had just a few trains on certain inconvenient days of the year only. However it was possible to charter a train on the branch for a price equivalent to 50 tickets. This is our end-of-line group photograph having spent the princely sum of about GBP4 on our own special train. The camera is set for time-delayed exposure and is balanced on the buffer beam of diesel railcar 810 121 - with the engine switched off to avoid camera shake.
