Here I am (second from the left) with three friends at Mladec. At the time, 15 April 1998, this short (6km) branch had just a few trains on certain (inconvenient) days of the year only, and now has no passenger service at all. However it was, and still is, possible to charter a train on the branch for a price equivalent to 50 tickets, so 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 the diesel railcar 810 121-4: with the engine switched off, of course.
