Decin, former Tetschen-Bodenbach/Sudetenland
Decin, former Tetschen-Bodenbach/Sudetenland, populated by ethnic Germans since 1253 AD (13th c). We tell you the story of Decin and the Winter family whose ancestors called Sudetenland their home.
The family experienced the 1938 Annexation to the 3rd Reich, WW2, followed by the expulsion of all Germans in 1944-46.
The majority of the expelled were women, children and the elderly. They were forced to wear a white armband, with the letter N (Nemec=German). This N is the symbol of the expulsion of 3 million people.
These Germans now experienced the brunt of the people from these former Nazi occupied regions. They were attacked, murdered, put into cattle cars and deported to camps. The majority of females were repeatedly raped, many dying from internal injuries sustained.
Emma Winter and her children were deported on 9.8.46 to Torgau, Russian occupied territory.
Decin experienced the 20yr Russian occupation, then finally it became the Czech Republic.
After many years of struggles and hard times Emma, Irmgard, Germana and Oswald live full lives in the west, but they always call Sudetenland their homeland.

CZECH REPUBLIC, KLATOVY, THE KLATOVY CATACOMBS, 2019
CZECH REPUBLIC, KLATOVY, THE KLATOVY CATACOMBS, 2019, Klatovy is a town in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.
Klatovy is the seat of the Municipality with Extended Competence and Municipality with Commissioned Local Authority., Klatovy was founded during 1260–1263 by Přemysl Otakar II. There are several historic buildings in the town such as the Black Tower, the Baroque Pharmacy, the Jesuit church with catacombs and the Archdeacon's church.
At the beginning of the 20th century, a district office, a museum, a credit union, a hospital, a falconry, a power station, etc. were built.
During World War II, Klatovy was deprived of its natural administrative territory when large parts of Šumava were annexed to the Reich. At that time, Klatovy was the center of the resistance movement, which was harshly suppressed by the execution of 73 patriots in the Lubský Forest at the time of Heydrich. In 1945, some parts of the city were badly damaged by bombing - the railway station building was completely destroyed. The city was liberated on 5 May 1945 by the US Army.
The town's significant German population was expelled from their home in 1945., The exposition is installed in the original church crypt, nowadays called the Catacombs, and in the former Jesuit gymnasium. It tells the story of the Jesuits in the Baroque epoch in Klatovy, containing period documents, historic objects, building models or film documentaries. Multimedia are used in the exposition as well. In the currently accessible parts, the tomb of the Koc of Dobrs family can be seen, a water tank or the system of sinking a coffin into the originally unaccesible crypt. The reverent room, where the mummified bodies rest now, is completed with a list of the buried and a panel with a sketch of the airing system.,The inventive airing system took a major part in the process of the natural mummification of the bodies. In the early 20th century, however, it was damaged, which caused the decay of 140 mummified bodies. The destroyed mummies were buried in the St. James cemetery in Klatovy in 1937. Today, the airing system is fully restored and the resting 38 bodies are looked after by preservers. At several places, the apertures of the original Baroque airing system are visible.

Kolín - Central Bohemia - Explore Czech Republic with Nick Forrow
Kolín is a town in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, 55 kilometres east from Prague, lying on the Labe (Elbe) River. Rich archaeological discoveries from the town and its surroundings show that this place was settled long before it is stated in extant written records.
In the regional museum we can find numerous relics commemorating all known settlements in Bohemia. There used to be ancient crossroads of three important trading roads formed as early as in the Roman Empire. The presence of Slavs can be proved even in the 6th century BC. A lot of discoveries of fortified places and burying-places are the evidence of dense population in this area in 9th and 12th centuries. The first written parchment mentioning Kolín dates back to 8th September 1261. In 1437 Bedřich of Strážnice built a caste on the site of a ruined monastery, the castle was afterwards rebuilt into a chateau. Many privileges awarded by Charles IV and Wenceslas IV supported the town development and wealth. At that time, Kolín belonged to the most prosperous towns of the Bohemian kingdom. The biggest humiliation and poverty came during the Thirty-year War which almost ruined the town.
Kolín (in German: Kolin, also Köln an der Elbe) is a regional town in the east of Central-Bohemia, situated on the river Labe. Kolín has more than 30 000 inhabitants, the area of the town is 35 km², the average altitude 220m. The town is an important rail junction. The main industry comprises chemical, car, engineering, food-processing and polygraphic branches.
The name Kolín probably comes from an old-bohemian word kolitiʺ, which means to drive stakes. The name is connected with the location of Starý Kolín in a frequently flooded area on the junction of the Klejnarka and Labe. People used to fix the ground using wooden stakes. Afterwards a more suitable location was chosen for the developing trading settlement. The new location was on an elevated place, 7 km westwards. The new village (and later on the royal town) kept the name of the original settlement.
There are also other less likely explanations of the name origin. The name could be also derived from its location on an elevated place, a hill - colinus in Latin, which is in disagreement with the existence of Starý Kolín, though. According to another theory, the Latin word Colonia is connected with the arrival of German colonists to Bohemia.

The Czech Republic (officially known by its short name, Czechia) is a small landlocked country in Central Europe, situated southeast of Germany and bordering Austria to the south, Poland to the north and Slovakia to the southeast.
The Czech Republic is not a geographically large country, but it has a rich and eventful history. From time immemorial, Czechs, Germans, Jews and Slovaks, as well as Italian stonemasons and stucco workers, French tradesmen and deserters from Napoleon’s army, have all lived and worked here, all influencing one another. For centuries they jointly cultivated their land, creating works that still command respect and admiration today. It is thanks to their inventiveness and skill that this small country is graced with hundreds of ancient castles, monasteries and stately mansions, and even entire towns that give the impression of being comprehensive artifacts. The Czech Republic contains a vast amount of architectural treasure, as well as beautiful forests and mountains to match.
Regions:
The Czech Republic has 14 political regions (kraj) which can be grouped together into eight general regions:
Central Bohemia (Prague, Kutná Hora, Karlštejn)
The metropolitan centre of the Czech Republic with its capital city, known for its river valleys, extinct volcanic mounds, and green pastures.
West Bohemia (Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně, Františkovy Lázně)
A forested and mountainous region, home of the pilsner beer, numerous spas towns, and the Bohemian Forest (Šumava).
North Bohemia (Liberec, Ústí nad Labem, Děčín, Bohemian Paradise)
A mountainous and coal mining region with a strong industrial past, and the location of the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory) and parts of the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše). Site to numerous winter resorts.
East Bohemia (Hradec Králové, Pardubice, Litomyšl, Špindlerův Mlýn)
Main location of the highly-popular Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) and the Czech Republic's highest peak, Sněžka.
South Bohemia (České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Třeboň)
Hilly, forested landscapes, and the source of the Vltava River. A highly popular area for rafters in the summer.
Bohemian-Moravian Highlands (Telč, Třebíč, Žďár nad Sázavou)
A very green and uneven region, considered the geographic heart of the country.
North Moravia (Ostrava, Olomouc, Opava, Litovel)
A highly industrial region which includes Czech Silesia, although dotted with beautiful hills and mountains.
South Moravia (Brno, Znojmo, Zlín, Lednice-Valtice)
Well-known for its rural and slow pace of life, warm summers, rolling vineyards, and its potent plum brandy (slivovice).
Cities:
Prague (Praha) — the country's capital and largest city, and one of Europe's premier tourist destinations. Its large and beautiful historical core is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Brno — the largest city in Moravia and the republic's second city, with several excellent museums, an accessible old town, a stunning cathedral, and the annual Grand Prix.

Finland: VR Class Dr16 locomotive at Oulu station on a Kolari to Helsinki night train service
Finland: VR Class Dr16 locomotive shown working and at Oulu station on a Kolari to Helsinki night train service.
Train was the P272 1850 Kolari - Helsinki night train, both clips recorded on 4th July 2013. Locomotive number is Dr16 2813.
Clip 1 - On board showing the view to the locomotive and passenger accommodation.
Clip 2 (0:28) - The Class Dr16 locomotive is removed at Oulu station to be exchanged for an electric loco to haul the train forward to Helsinki.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The Dr16 is a class of diesel-electric locomotives used by VR (Finnish Railways). The 23 locomotives have a single, off-centre cab and are currently VR's most powerful diesel locomotives. Their nickname is Iso Vaalee (Big Blonde). They are presently mainly used on heavy freight services in northern Finland; their main passenger duty is the haulage of trains on the non-electrified line between Kemi and Kolari in Lapland.
In the beginning of the 1980s, Valtionrautatiet needed new locomotives to replace its aging Dr12 and Dv12 class diesel locomotives and finally chose Valmet's type M in 1983, with Strömberg providing the electrical components. VR originally ordered 23 locomotives, with an option of 20 more when the first series were delivered.
After an extensive testing programme, the 19 series locomotives were delivered between 1990 and 1992. The manufacturer had anticipated a larger series to be ordered to replace old heavy line diesels (Dr12 and Dr13); however, the rapid progress of the electrification of Finnish main lines decreased the need for new heavy diesel locomotives and thus no further orders materialized. The locomotives were designed and assembled in Finland, either by Valmet Oy at Tampere (numbers 2801–2809) or by Transtech Oy at Otanmäki and Taivalkoski (numbers 2810–2823).
Originally the engines were planned to be of Finnish design (Wärtsilä Vaasa 8R22), but after tests with two prototype locos, the engine type was changed into French Pielstick 12PA4-V-200VG. The Pielsticks produced originally 1,660 kilowatts (2,230 hp), but in 1997 they were limited to an output of 1,500 kilowatts (2,000 hp) to increase durability.
The locomotive was very modern at its time and it was among the first to use microprocessor-controlled GTO thyristor inverter-driven three-phase asychronous AC motors. The construction is modular, and data is transmitted via optical fiber cables between modules.[citation needed] The maximum speed is 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph). The maximum frequency of the inverters corresponds to 156 kilometres per hour (97 mph), and the locomotive has reached that in test runs.[citation needed] The locomotive provides 400 kW 1500V electricity for heating of passenger cars.
The first two prototypes were painted in a white/red livery to go with VR's recent InterCity brand, showcasing the VR logo next to the cab. The final livery (starting from number 2803) added some grey on the side of the engine covers. Two of the locomotives (numbers 2816 and 2819) have been repainted in a new white/green livery in 2010 and 2011. These have been called Iso Kalpee (Finnish for Big Pale) by railroad enthusiasts.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
VR or VR Group (Finnish: VR-Yhtymä Oy, Swedish: VR-Group Ab) is a state-owned railway company in Finland. Formerly known as Suomen Valtion Rautatiet (Finnish State Railways) until 1922 and Valtionrautatiet / Statsjärnvägarna (State Railways) until 1995. Its most important function is the operation of freight and passenger rail services.
As of 2011, the company operates two classes of electric locomotives (Sr1 and Sr2) and three classes of diesel locomotives (Dv12, Dr14 and Dr16). The use of diesel locomotive hauled passenger trains has declined due to electrification of all main lines and the (re)introduction of railbuses (Dm12) on secondary routes. In October 2010, VR announced plans to renew its locomotive fleet by ordering around 200 new locomotives, which are expected to enter service in 2015-2025.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
VR operates sleeper services between Helsinki and Turku and Lapland, which also include car-carrying (motorail) wagons. Double-deck sleeping carriages (including rooms with en suite showers and toilets) were introduced on the Helsinki-Rovaniemi service in the 2000s. Other overnight services (Turku-Rovaniemi and Helsinki-Kolari) are operated by older blue sleeper carriages.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Oulu is a city and municipality in the region of Northern Ostrobothnia, in Finland. It is the most populous city in Northern Finland and the fifth most populous city in the country. It is one of the northernmost larger cities in the world.

Pilsner Urquell brewery, Pilsen, Plzeň, Czech Republic, Europe
Pilsner Urquell Brewery is a brewery in Plzeň, the Bohemian city which is known as the birthplace of the Pilsener beer style in general, and for Pilsner Urquell, since 1898 the name of the main product of this brewery. Both Plzeňský Prazdroj and Pilsner Urquell can be roughly translated into English as the Fountainhead at Pilsen or the original source of Pilsner. The brewery was founded in 1839 by both local German-speaking and Czech-speaking citizens as Bürgerbrauerei (citizens' brewery, later translated to Měšťanský pivovar in Czech). The first beer was brewed in 1842 by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll. In 1859, “Pilsner Bier” was registered as a brand name at the local Chamber of Commerce and Trade. In 1869, a competitor was founded as a joint stock company, later known as Gambrinus. In 1898 the Urquell (Prazdroj) trade mark was created, to underline the claim of being the older, original source of Pilsner beer. In 1918, when the Austrian Empire ceased to exist, Czechs took over control, and soon began renaming cities, companies and products alike to give them Czech-language names. In 1946, communists took over, nationalising the remaining two breweries, Měšťansky pivovar (the Citizens' brewery), and Plzeňské akciové pivovary (PAP, the stock company), merging them into the single Plzeňské pivovary (Pilsen breweries). After the fall of communism in late 1989, the brewery was turned into a public share company, then renamed in 1994 after the Czech name of their famous beer, Plzeňský Prazdroj. In 1999, they started to merge with Pivovar Radegast a.s. and Pivovar Velké Popovice a.s.. The brewery has been part of the SABMiller group of companies (at the time South African Breweries) since 1999. It has been the largest exporter of beer produced in the Czech Republic since 2000 when production surpassed that of Budějovický Budvar. A brewery museum (Pivovarské muzeum) has been set up near the brewery in the authentic medieval brewing house with malt house, which has been declared a cultural monument. It includes the late Gothic malt house, kiln, original drying shed and two-level laying-down cellars with ice-cellar, which are hewn from the Pilsen substrata. The exhibition covers Pilsen's most ancient history, the development of crafts, the emergence and growth of the guilds, the beginnings and development of brewing, malting, the craft of cooper, haulage and catering. The tour includes a replica of a pub from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and a laboratory from the second half of the 19th century. The city walls have been opened with an example of the cultivation of barley and hops. The museum has become an anchor for the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
Czech fire truck parade - rear view | 14. Sraz Matýskářů Spanilá Jízda [CZ | 7.2017]
Parade of the 14th Sraz matýskářů in Dolní Poustevna, Czechia. Sraz matýskářů is a competition and meeting of fire departments which owe one specific type of fire truck (the majority of the seen trucks) which was built during the cold war time. Those trucks were standard in the past and are often still used by volunteer fire departments in Czechia. Some more can still be found in Germany, Slovakia, Poland and some other eastern countries.
The word Hasiči means firefighters in Czech but is often written on fire trucks there. All the trucks in this video are from volunteer fire departments.
This video is only showing the rear view of the trucks. I do have some more videos from that parade which will be uploaded over the coming months. Here is another from from the same day, showing front & rear of the trucks:
Really cool stuff! :)

Trains/Vlaky Praha-Sedlec (CZ) - 7. 5. 2018
EN:
Hi :)
In this video you can see trains at Praha-Sedlec station located on one of the main double-track lines in the Czech Republic. The line is highly used by long-distance trains including EuroCity trains from Prague to Berlin or the legendary Hungaria train from Budapest to Hamburg (3:04). The station is placed in Prague area, so a high number of suburban trains stop there, often serviced by CityElefant units typical for Prague. All the passenger trains were operated by state-controlled Czech Railways (ČD) at the time of recording.
Now I'll focus a little bit on the line S41, which was quite interesting at the time of recording. The green-blue unit on the first shot is an electric multiple unit class 451 called Pantograph, specifically 451.025/6 - the last one in ordinary service at the time. It's service was cancelled in summer 2018, after farewell with railfans it was transported to the depository of the National Technical Museum in Chomutov. One other unit has been preserved for historical purposes by ČD, actually it's the last operable Pantograph at present but I'll talk about it at another time if so. Regarding to that the unit no. 025/6 was the last operable Pantograph in ordinary service, ČD didn't have enough EMU's to ensure traffic on the line S41, so they had to improvise. During my staying at the station some connections were serviced by a diesel multiple unit class 814 called Regionova, specifically 814.065. After the complete decommission of Pantographs ČD still didn't have any corresponding replacement, so the customer ordering public transport in the region have decided to enter into a contract with someone else. Since 2019 the line S41 has been renamed on S47 and serviced by private company ARRIVA vlaky (in English ARRIVA Trains) owned by German Railways (DB). ARRIVA on the line uses diesel multiple units class 845 (made by modernisation of German units class 628) and 642, also known as Desiro. I've caught the same Desiros, which currently run on the line, in Poland on an international service from Wroclaw to Dresden ( Except the line S47, the units class 845 are used on international express trains from Prague to Nitra (

V dnešním videu můžete vidět vlaky na zastávce Praha-Sedlec nacházející se na dvoukolejné trati čís. 090 (Praha - Ústí n/L - Děčín). Tato trať je velmi používaná dálkovými vlaky včetně vlaků EuroCity z Prahy do Berlína, nebo legendárním vlakem Hungaria z Budapešti do Hamburku (3:04). Zastávka se nachází (překvapivě) na území Prahy, takže zde zastavuje velké množství příměstských vlaků PID často obsluhovanými jednotkami CityElefant, které jsou pro Prahu více než typické. Všechny vlaky osobní dopravy byly v době natáčení provozované státem ovládanými Českými drahami.

Czech Republic: CD Cargo Class 771 locomotive passes Ostrava-Stodolni on a freight train
Czech Republic: CD Cargo Class 771 locomotive 771 137-7 passes Ostrava-Stodolni on a freight train.
Clip recorded 5th July 2017.
The locomotive class 771 is a dieselectric locomotive ( diesel locomotive with electric power transmission ) designed for heavy shifting and transport of heavier freight trains . It was produced in the years 1968 - 1972 by Strojárske a metallurgické závody Dubnica nad Váhom (SMZ) as an improved version of older machines of the 770 series .
195 machines with a standard gauge of 1435 mm were delivered to ČSD , another 12 machines for a wide gauge of 1520 mm. These were intended for the eastern Slovakian transit point ( Čierna nad Tisou and Maťovce ), where they usually work in pairs to increase the tow force (the weight of the sets is up to 4,000 tons here).
Most of the locomotives were shut down in the Czech Republic until 2010 and today only a small number of machines owned by ČD Cargo , deposited in SOKV České Budějovice and Ostrava. Their main mission is still a heavy shifting and dragging of sets between cargo stations, where only two pairs of four-axle machines with higher consumption could replace them. The only machine of this series on which EDB is mounted (since 1999 ) is 771,182, home in Ostrava. Czech Railways deployed the latest locomotive 771,172 in Česká Třebová sporadically as needed, and in the future it is counted as a museum machine.

Ostrava (Polish: Ostrawa, German: Ostrau or Mährisch Ostrau) is a city in the north-east of the Czech Republic and is the capital of the Moravian-Silesian Region. It is 15 km (9 mi) from the border with Poland, at the meeting point of four rivers: the Odra, Opava, Ostravice and Lučina.
Ostrava is the transport and logistics hub of the north-eastern part of the Czech Republic. 25 km (16 mi) south of the city centre is an international airport, Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava, which links the city with several European destinations (IATA code: OSR; ICAO code: LKMT). It is the first airport in the Czech Republic to have its own rail link.
Ostrava is also a major railway hub, sited on Railway Corridors II and III and serving as an important centre for cargo and passenger transport between the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. The city's largest railway stations are the main station (Ostrava-hlavní nádraží) and Ostrava-Svinov. These stations are important railway junctions. All trains of all three railway companies (Czech railways, RegioJet and LEO Express) call at Ostrava on trains to Olomouc, Pardubice and Prague.

České dráhy (ČD) or Czech Railways is the main railway operator in the Czech Republic. In 2010 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 41.0 billion (€1.6bn, $2.1bn). Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 18.7 billion (65% transfer payments from the government, 25% intra-state transport, 10% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11.8 billion, revenues from traffic control invoiced to state-owned railway infrastructure operator SŽDC amounted to CZK 5.2 billion. With thirty-eight thousand employees ČD Group is the largest Czech company by the number of employees.
The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railways Cooperation (Asia and Europe).
Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic. After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidies, the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007 although it receives government subsidies. Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.
ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidies available to ČD and SŽDC.
ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.

Horní Lipová is a village located in the Olomouc region in the Jesenik region , which is part of the municipality Lipová-bath , which is immediately adjacent to the east. In 2001 , the population was 346.
The first written mention of Horní Lipová dates back to 1689 . The village was founded on the Frývaldov estate of the Bishop of Wrocław by extending the Dolní Lipová towards the Ramzovský saddle and from the mentioned village it became independent especially by the establishment of an independent fojtství (scholtézství), the existence of which in 1696 is a preserved stone emblem. Farmland cultivated land was not initially much here, the inhabitants fed mainly pastures. Significant development of the village occurred after 1777 , when the ministry began to allocate the fortified pasture land to hereditary property. The development of Horní Lipová can be traced to the population: while in 1748there were only 31 gardeners (ie smaller farmers), in 1836 there were 86 farmers, 68 gardeners and 271 housekeepers, 1138 permanent residents. The upward trend then slowed down and halted before the end of the 19th century.
The village had its own school at the beginning of the 19th century, but it fell under Dolní Lipová. The industry was not here. However, important for the village was the construction of the railway from Hanušovice to Jeseník in 1888 , above the village there was a railway station of the same name . The high cant exceeds the track with a series of arches, which gave it the nickname Silesian Semmering .
The population of the village was mostly German. The Czech minority was formed only after the establishment of Czechoslovakia and in 1938 was largely forced to leave. For II. World War I found a smaller prison camp in the valley near the village.
At present, Horní Lipová is primarily a center of winter and summer mountain tourism, also related to the spa in Dolní Lipová. The Museum of Silesian Semmering was recently opened, focusing on the history of the picturesque and technically interesting railway. The station also served as a preview of Bílý potok station in the stories about Alois Nebel.

České dráhy (ČD) or Czech Railways is the main railway operator in the Czech Republic. In 2010 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 41.0 billion (€1.6bn, $2.1bn). Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 18.7 billion (65% transfer payments from the government, 25% intra-state transport, 10% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11.8 billion, revenues from traffic control invoiced to state-owned railway infrastructure operator SŽDC amounted to CZK 5.2 billion. With thirty-eight thousand employees ČD Group is the largest Czech company by the number of employees.
The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railways Cooperation (Asia and Europe).
Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic. After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidies, the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007 although it receives government subsidies. Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.
ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidies available to ČD and SŽDC.
ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.
