Welcome to today's thread - #CrossBorderRail to/from #LongestTrainEU Day 16 - 27 Sep - Košice - Čadca - Ostrava - Opava - Pilszcz - Třemešná ve Slezsku - Osoblaha - Racławice Śląskie - Kędzierzyn-Koźle
-
This Žilina - Čadca train is normally a 4 carriage EMU with 6 powered axles and about 2000kW of power
Here we have 1400kW, diesel, and 6 carriages, and it’ll weigh a lot more. So we‘re behind schedule…
I left Košice 30 mins earlier than planned this morning, conscious something was wrong Žilina - Čadca, and not wanting to trust a tight connection
I made the right call I think
