European Railroad Discussion > Ústí nad Labem at night

Some footage of the sorts of trains which pass through Ústí nad Labem Hlavní Nádraží (Main Station) during the evening. Ústí is a major junction on the Prague to Dresden mainline.

I see you got one of the solid white 'ghost-scheme' Siemens Vectron locomotives. I love that castle thing hovering up there in the darkness. I am looking forward to a brief visit to the Czech Republic next fall. Thanks for posting.

Interesting video, thank you for posting. What time of night was this taken? It seemed that most of the passenger trains had few riders. I found it interesting that the second freight train had cars with lots of graffiti right next to open auto-racks. The European hoodlums must like to paint but not throw rocks. 

Taken after 9 p.m.

Leased Vectrons I think, reporting marks aren't CD. That's the Hotel Vetruse up on the hill, great place to watch trains.

That's generally true, as you can see there are no grills on locomotive windscreens or passenger car windows, but graffiti is, unfortunately, pretty widespread.

Saw the rear of one freight train.  No "Fred's" on those trains??

No, just marker lights.
