4th April 2014 - Calling 2044 008Friday 4th April 2014 Out early for the 7:17 to Varaždin this morning as we had worked out that it should be required 2044 026 by checking the Twitter feed on the hotel's wi-fi. Whilst the system is tremendously useful, it does has a minor draw-back in that the locos only tweet when they actually depart on something so a certain amount of dectective work is needed to work out what the next working is likely to be in the absence of any official diagrams 2044 026 at Zabok4th April 2014. 990 07:17 Zagreb Gl kol to Kotoriba. 2044 026 was indeed on the front of the 7:17 to Kotoriba but we completely failed to find 2044 008 which had tweeted that it had departed Varaždin at some ridiculous time that morning but had since gone and hidden itself. We suspected that it might be lurking at Kotoriba and turn up on the 11:56 from there to Koprivnica but were wrong again however we took that train anyway as we had only done the line between Varaždin and Koprivnica loco hauled once and that was on a tour. 2044 026 at Varaždin4th April 2014. 3013 11:09 Kotoriba to Zagreb Gl kol. Upon reaching Koprivnica, we were not amused to find that the 14:00 to Zagreb was an EMU especially as we didn't have much choice except to get on unless we wanted to be stuck there for some time. Dugo Selo couldn't be reached too soon and we bailed off to go "fishing" for new locos with a singular lack of success. 1142 015 at Dugo Selo4th April 2014. B745 15:20 Zagreb Gl kol to Vinkovci. Things were no better at Zagreb so we gave up and did our favourite move to the Sahara at Jastrebarsko for dinner, except this time the local train from Duga Resa which formed the return journey to Zagreb was now an EMU.
