My May 2014 trip to the Czech Republic was slightly marred by poor weather at times. Seen here on a brief "transit" via Germany is DB Regio unit no. 642.037 (with twin power car 537 closest to the camera). These are now common place in Germany and take charge of many local services. Seen here at Zittau on 11 May 2014, train RB17282, 16:21 Zittau to Dresden Hbf.
