This was the Class 471 "City Elefant" EMU that took me back to Prague. Having said this, the photo is too blurred to get the road number.

I managed to get relatively few good cameraphone shots at Fluff Fest 2015, but I had a few. There were a number of old favorites at the festival, including Gattaca, but I didn't manage to get good shots with my cameraphone. This was one of my best shots from Fluff Fest 2015, with decent lighting, and a shooting location close enough so that I didn't have to use digital zoom. This set was on Saturday, soon after I arrived.

When southbound one Linka 220, Ricany is the first station outside of Prague. As you can vaguely see in this shot, as of 2015 it was in decent condition, and my understanding is that it's been maintained well since. It's notable for the spiral ramp for passengers, especially those with bikes, just barely visible behind the platform canopy. The station building is on the other side of the tracks, behind me in this shot. The building dates to the 1880's, if I'm not mistaken, although services began stopping here in November of 1871, in line with most other stops on Linka 220.

Nadrazi Strancice is actually two stops south of Ricany, as Svetice is in between. For some reason, I didn't get a shot of Svetice on this trip. Strancice is mostly notable for being where some of the locals from Prague terminate, rather than continuing on to Benesov u Prahy. Whenever I've had to go further south, I've had to be mindful of this. There's also a freight-only branchline to Velke Popovice from Strancice, but this was cut short in around 2013, so it may have been left mostly in place as insurance for the future. I'm not aware of any current services on it, although it still had some working signals the last time I saw it.

The Mnichovice station isn't visible in this shot, as it's out-of-frame to the right. What you can see is that interesting Baroque-style building, in the distance, with the bell tower. That's the Church of the Birth of the Virgin Mary, or the Kostel Narození Panny Marie, in Czech.

As you can see, Nadrazi Mirosovice u Prahy was in very good condition as of 2015, and as far as I know it still is today. Mirosovice is two stops south of Strancice (with Mnichovice in the middle), and on this particular day, for whatever reason, I concluded my cameraphone shoot for the day. It may have been the battery, in hindsight, as I didn't want to be without a phone.
