==Accidents==
*On June 28, 2010, a passenger train from Prague derails while entering Ústí nad Labem station, killing 1 driver. It's unknown what's the cause of the derailment; possibly this train's 108 km/h (67 mph) speed exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph) speed limit and may have been factorized.
*On September 6, 2019, another one was involved in a collison with a semi-truck at Prague 22, injuring 8.https://www.irozhlas.cz/zpravy-domov/praha-uhrineves-nehoda-srbsko-prejezd-radiozurnal-ridic-kamionu-vezeni_2001130625_gak
