ZSR - Slovak Republic
Bratislava Petrzalka is a very strange station. Most international trains to Austria and Hungary depart here as the main station (Hlavna Stanica) is overcrowded, but the station is located in a recently redeveloped area on the "other" side of the river Danube, without tram or trolleybus connections to the rest of the city (only some regular bus lines).
In the photo you can see diesel locomotive 742 297 waiting for its next duty in the - for the rest almost empty - station.
