After my walking tour of Jindrichuv Hradec, I took the JHMD to its opposite end at Nova Bystrice, over Linka 229, which is actually older than Linka 228, having been built in 1898 instead of 1906. This is the station at Nova Bystrice, which still retains its steam-era black and white CSD signage. Unlike Obratan, however, Nova Bystrice lacks a CD standard-gauge connection, so it is purely a JHMD station nowadays, and JHMD offers the only rail connection to Nova Bystrice.

Here's one of the very sharp curves on the line, which aren't as severe, relatively speaking, if a line is narrow-gauge.

This is one of the smaller stations in the Czech Republic, although many of these smaller stations are standardised on the JHMD. Notice the obviously narrow-gauge track. This is Linka 228 between Jindrichuv Hradec and Obratan, originally built in 1906.

This is the station at Sudkuv Dul, one of several that the JHMD has surrounded by trees that dwarf it. Like many stations on the line, it's just a shanty with a sign.

This is the JHMD station at Obratan, with the brick station in the background being the Ceske Drahy station. I've made two trips on the JHMD narrow-gauge so far this year, but only one of them included the line to Obratan, or Linka 228, the newer of the two former CD narrow-gauge lines taken over by JHMD, having been built in 1906.
