CSD 498.022 Under Branicky Most, Picture 2 |
| Description: |
I had high hopes for these photos from the very beginning, and now that I can see them with my own eyes they're some of my favorite color photos of the year, dramatic in their own special Czech way. |

| Description: |
This is a closer crop of Picture 2. I'll reiterate that these shots capture the feel of the Czech Republic's rail system exceptionally well, and indeed they remind me of some of the prettiest photos (and movies) shot here. |

| Description: |
This was at the time that 498.022 was back further on the bridge out of Branik, but I don't know exactly what order this one is in. I'm fairly certain that the previous shot was of it pulling out, and this was after it was stopped or nearly in place before heading back in. |

ex-CSD 498.022 |
| Description: |
This was taken on the October 16th, 2010 ex-CSD 498.022 excursion during a layover at Beroun, during which the locomotive was turned. Here its already coupled tender forward ready to head to Rakovnik, where it will be turned again. I took all still photos on the 16th with my cameraphone, as the batteries in my Nikon died at Beroun (actually, they had probably been dead for weeks). I did some proper photography the next day, which I hope to eventually include in an NRHS show. The video that I shot on the 16th, however, will be yet another NRHS show. |

ex-CSD 498.022, the "Albatros," Picture 3 |
| Description: |
This was the scene as the Albatross cylinder cocks were blown for the run into the museum. Even on a very short move, this is an important procedure on a steam locomotive, as even a little bit of water in the cylinders can blow them up, which is dangerous and extremely expensive, especially for a non-profit organisation. |

This was one of a number of cameraphone shots I took as #498.022 was being turned at Beroun during the return trip. In this photo, you can see the profile of the Kylchap double-blastpipe chimney a bit better than usual, although its a bit dark. |

As #498.022 rolled out of the museum and began switching the train together for the return trip to Prague, I followed it and shot some pictures. This was my first shot. That water spout over on the left wasnt used since the locomotive had been watered at the spout in the museum. |

| Description: |
Heres the Albatros being watered for its return trip to Praha Branik. This water spout is the one located within the museum grounds, next to the coal bunker. In the lower left corner of this photo you can also see an ashpit, which might double as an inspection pit. Its cramped, though, so probably they would be better off using one in the shops. |

Oil/electric Light on Ex-CSD 498.022, the Albatros, at Nadrazi Praha-Branik |
| Description: |
While I was taking some parting shots of #498.022, I noticed that the taillights and the headlights (really ditchlights in modern terms because of their position) appeared to have been converted at some point to electric power, or maybe they had been either oil or electric all along (that could also be a gas fitting, but it looks like oil to me, and railway lights more often were oil than gas in the old days). Therefore, I felt the need to take this photo. I originally marked this down as a headlight (which means ditchlight), but now that Im thinking back on it I think this was one of the taillights, before it was extinguished (the train arrived in Branik with #498.022 running in reverse). |

Smoke |
| Description: |
This must have been roughly at departure time, although I cant remember just by looking at this whether we were already moving when I took this. You can see #498.022 smoking a lot, probably to build a head of steam. |

Ex-CSD 475.1142 in the CSD Muzeum |
| Description: |
The first time I spotted this locomotive was in Decin, where its based. Its fully operational, but wasnt in steam when I visited the museum. Its a 475 Class 4-8-2, a generation later than the 498 Class (except for the actual record-breaking Albatros, which was a 498.1 Class from the 1950s), which means that this class was built from 1945 until 1951 by Skoda. Power is 1480kW (1985 horsepower), and the officially recognised maximum speed is 100Km/h, although these locomotives are almost certainly capable of going faster. |
