The Cheb depot in the Czech Republic is hosting a large-scale festival to celebrate National Railway Day under the theme ‘The World of Change’. 

The event features a diverse range of rolling stock, spanning from historical steam and diesel locomotives, such as the 1900 series 97.182 steam engine, to modern multi-system electric and battery-powered units like the RegioPanter and InterJet sets. 

Activities include guided tours, hand-powered draisine rides, a cinema car, and workshops. The program also includes a light show on a turntable featuring illuminated locomotives. Organizers have recommended that visitors arrive by train due to limited parking availability.
