Even though I publish this album in May, considering the weather in 2019 it is not inappropriate to add snow photos from the Fatra mountains. Line number 170 in Slovakia has been an old hunting ground for me, as it is close to Budapest. We have been here many times but I think in this album I will manage to show photos from directions I haven't previously shown. Thanks to a freshly cut part of the woods the U'lanka viaduct became a lot more visible than previously. In the background you can see the station through which the retro-livery locomotive has pulled its train through just two minutes before. At the bottom of the valley is the road to Donovaly (a ski resort) and from the road a hiking trail leads up to the point just outside the right-hand side of the photo. A good pair of hiking boots is required though.

Four unidentified, ŽSSKC 756 Okularnyk locomotives seen between U¾anka and Dolny Harmanec Photographed by: Takács Bence Captured at: 2016:12:27 12:23:06 Tags: U¾anský viadukt Harmanec zastávka Olmányfalva U¾anka 270 757 (ZSSK) 756 tehervonat borult nyílt vonal magaslatról viadukt havas táj Szlovákia dízelmozdony Búvár

The train has been pushed by a class 746 locomotive as a banker.

A banker is used as a helper if not only the weight of the pulling locomotives is not enough but the couple would also be overtensed between some of the cars because of the grade. I have a number of photos about locomotives in the banker duty .

The two-car slow train is arriving coupled to a DC Pantograph electric multiple unit.

I managed to take a shot of the retro locomotive that brought back the REX to Banská Bystrica. Here you can see a number of other photos of retro livery locomotives of many countries so popular in eastern Europe nowadays:

I have been to the Tatra Rack Railway thousands of times but I can't get enough of it:

As usual in winter the front of the train is quite icy.

The colours and lights of the sunset had been beautiful.

The previous amount of photos were from a recent trip, here comes a trip from a few years before. Here, thanks to the great EU-regional planning, I had to rent a room 40 minutes away from my flat so that I can be in Trenčianská Teplá on time. Quite ridiculous.

For the morning I had to get to Trenčianská Teplá for the phototrain to Trenčianske Teplice. At the beginning the organizer showed us all three railcars in front of the concrete depot.

Apart from these two red vehicles from different ages there is also a blue car representing the last operating era, number 901. That car used to run in crimson colours as a retro car with a red star in the last few years of ŽSR operations that we photographed in a rather dark, rainy weather many years before:

After my adventures around Trenčianska Teplá I went for a day to the Tatry - the photos of which I have already uploaded . I think it's worth having a look at it!
