Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: class 163

This train was an express, or Ryklik, which was running nonstop through Hradec Kralove. It wasn't going very fast, but I still figured this would be a good motion shot, although I didn't pan this one.

I was waiting in Praha-Smichov for my train to Karlstejn, and I saw this Class 163 electric with these two coaches just sitting there. It sounded and looked like it was switched on (with electrics it's not always obvious), but with only two coaches it was unlikely that it was waiting to work a service. I figured it was part of a switching move attempting to assemble a train. I really liked how this shot looked, though, so I took it.
