Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Masarykovo Nadrazi

One of the many Prague buildings undergoing restoration recently has been Masarykovo Nadrazi. This is the oldest surviving railway station in the city, built in 1845 (the original Dejvice would rival it, having been built even earlier for a horsedrawn tramway). I took this cameraphone shot right after they pulled the scaffolding off of the restored, repainted trainshed, which extends forward to the street.

Although Masarykovo Nadrazi hasn't been given as much corridor upgrade work as many other stations, it is nevertheless getting a little bit of attention in the form of the new trainboard and whatever that scaffolding on the canopy is for. I expect that there will be more work soon, but what it will entail I don't know.

Here's some of the signage. Note that the sign on the left is still marked for Ceskoslovenske Drahy.

This is slightly in the previously shown entrance. Although I've very carefully attempted this shot with the Pentax and the Nikon N80 before, I've never been able to get an exposure this good because I've never had fast enough film installed at the right time.

I've photographed Masarykovo Nadrazi many times before, but with my new cameraphone I decided to experiment a bit. This is the side entrance by the parking lot and Namesti Republiky Metro entrance.

This was, unless I'm mistaken, the start of my Kutna Hora trip, although I note that the number on this Class 471 "City Elephant" EMU doesn't match the one from my arrival photo. I don't remember which one I actually took, or if it was a twin set.
