Also this year, the ČD Cargo joint stock company carries out measurement trains for the SŽDC (Railway Infrastructure Administration). Measuring wagon for railroad superstructure measures all the basic geometric parameters of the track, ie track gauge, track direction, track gauge, height of individual track belts, track gauge and surface defects of rails. The rail bottom is measured by a georadar, and another type of measuring car controls both digital and analogue radio systems. E.g. On October 24, 2017, ČD Cargo provided a ride with a measuring wagon to check the geometric position of the track on the lines between Hradec Králové and Lysá nad Labem and to drive the radio wagon between Dalovice and Kralupy nad Vltavou.

Locomotive 750.326 with the GPK measuring car visited Jaroměř, Staré Paky, Turnov, Mladá Boleslav and Nymburk on this day. It was captured by photographer's lens passing Kostomlaty nad Labem station.
