477.043 ČSD Sesquicentennial Cavalcade of Trains

08-Jul-1989: ČSD Sesquicentennial Cavalcade of Trains: this magnificent looking machine is a ČSD 477 class three cylinder Kylchap double-blastpipe chimney equipped 4-8-4 tank locomotive.  Built by ČKD in 1954, it was used in suburban and express passenger service, no doubt the three cylinders and four driving axles would have contributed to snappy acceleration.
