ZSR locomotive 350 003-0 in Brno hl.n. with EC 72 SMETANA (Wien Südbf (Ost) - Praha-Holesovice), consisting of CD rolling stock. As the CD has no 160 km/h locomotives for both 25 kV AC 50 Hz and 3 kV DC, the ZSR 350 operate trains like this from Breclav (CD) to Praha (CD); their longest service is the EC HUNGARIA between Budapest (MÁV) and Praha. These locomotives, built in the mid-1970s, are currently being modernized and repainted in an attractive new livery, with the traditional blue colour for dual system locomotives in an arrangement inspired by the ÖBB 1014. 2001-08-28.
