There’s no overhead electricity today in Žilina so a 🤿 diesel locomotive was put on the front… #CrossBorderRail
And it needs some help on the back

CadcaThis 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

@jon You come across some real architectural gems in your travels. It's been lovely to see from across the pond.
