Training of the military parade at the former military airport in Bechyně

On Sunday, 28 October, a magnificent military parade, the largest in the history of the Czech Republic, will be held in Prague on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Czechoslovakia. There will be about two hundred military vehicles and two thousand soldiers. The training of such an important event, which will be attended by the President of the Czech Republic, Miloš Zeman, is taking place at the former military airport in Bechyně from 15 October.

On Tuesday, 16 October, ČD Cargo also took part in the training, carrying a special military transport from the Hlubočky-Mariánské údolí station, which includes the military vehicles of the Přáslavice unit. This military technique was loaded on eleven wagons of the Res and Smmp series and the accompanying team traveled in the passenger wagon of the Bc series.

The train was driven by a combination of electric and diesel locomotives - a train locomotive 113.003, borrowed from ČD, and a pair of assisting diesel locomotives 731.011 and 014. It was perhaps the first time in the history of this unique electrified local track that three traction vehicles stood at the head of the train.

We are delighted that ČD Cargo could contribute to the success of this very important part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of our country.
