The deadline 144 * was never officially abolished, but in the mid-1990s. Operation was interrupted here. There are several tunnels and four stops on the line. At the time when we went on the track, the section from Horní Slavkov to Krásný Jez was operational. So this section is unique today, because it is still in the photos at the time when the section was dead.
