CACHE
Souradnice vas privedou na misto, kde se odehrala druha nejtragictejsi zeleznicni nehoda v ceske historii od r. 1848. Krabka je PET embryo, s odlovem nebudou zadne problemy. Umistena je na konci peronu, kam maji chodci volny pristup. Prosim jenom, aby jste neprovokovali ostrahu zeleznicni stanice tim, ze budete pobihat po kolejich, nebo s necim manipulovat. Nemaji to radi ani mistni obyvatele.
Prihoda: pri zakladani kese jsem mel trochu neprijemnou, avsak usmevnou prihodu se zrizencem stanice, kteremu me nejspis nabonzovala pani s malym ditetem. Nasel jsem paradni ukryt v domecku ovladace uz asi nepouzivane vyhybky. Ten by se vam libil! Pri jeho promerovani a zkouseni ruznych krabek me ta pani videla a oznamila ostraze, ze pry manipuluji s vyhybkami. Nikdy bych si neco takoveho nedovolil. Radeji jsem mazal pryc.
Parkovani s Waze.
Ke kesi je to vsechno, muzete lovit. Dalsi informace jsou hlavne pro kacery, ktere zajima i to, cim je toto misto zajimave.
HISTORIE MISTA
Osobni vlak
Zeleznicni trat Brno - Breclav. Je brzo rano 24.12.1953. Osobni vlak Os 718 vyjizdi z Brna v 1:30. Vjezdove navestidlo 200 m pred zst. Sakvice vlak zastavi. Duvodem je uvolnena kolej na nadrazi. Sakvicaci v domeni, ze uz jsou ve stanici, vystupuji a opousteji vlak. To jsou ti stastnejsi. Ti, co prezili. Ve vagonech vsak stale zustava mnoho lidi. Hlava na hlave, ulicky jsou plne.
Rychlik
Na stejne trati ve stejnem smeru si to vali rychlik R 4 vedeny lokomotivou Albatros 498.033 (jeste o ni uslysime). Vranovicemi prosvisti devadesatikilometrovou rychlosti. Nikdo z osadky si nevsiml omezeni rychlosti na 40 km/h. Neni se co divit. Vsichni tri - strojvedouci, topic i vlakvedouci - jsou pod parou a usinaji. Cervene vino jim chutnalo. Uz svatkuji. Mijeji i navestidlo "stuj" na hradle Obecni pole. K mistu nehody z opacneho smeru se blizi navic i rychlik z Bratislavy. Pred Sakvicemi cetu probudi protijedouci nakladni vlak na sousedni koleji a shodou okolnosti pred sebou osadka zahledne navest "volno", ktera vsak plati pro predchozi osobni vlak Os 718. Srazka vlaku je neodvratna.
Naraz
Rychlik narazil do stojiciho osobniho vlaku v rychlosti 86 km/h. Nasledky byly tragicke: 103 mrtvych, 83 zranenych. Jine zdroje uvadeji statistiku jeste o neco drsnejsi. Osobni vlak prisel o 9 vozu, rychlik o 3 a lokomotivu. Vykolejeny vagon navic poskodil i projizdejici bratislavsky rychlik. "Lidi okradali mrtve, brali jim hodinky, penezenky. Pro zachovani poradku byla nasledujici den privolana armada," lici sakvicky kronikar Jan Svoboda.
Setreni a tresty
Vsichni, co tragedii zavinili, prezili. Svemu trestu vsak neunikli. Byli odsouzeni:
- strojvedouci Ambroz Ruzicka 5 let,
- topic Stefan Adamec 4 roky
- vlakvedouci Josef Hubac 3 roky vezeni.
Hmotnou skodu soud vycislil na 5 milionu korun. Do zachrannych praci se zapojilo priblizne 30 lidi. Dostali vyznamenani od prezidenta republiky Antonina Zapotockeho.
Osudy lidi
Ve vlaku sedelo i nekolik cestujicich, co prezili jinou tezkou zeleznicni nehodu u Podivina tri roky predtim.
Osudy lokomotivy
Lokomotiva Albatros 498.033 byla prevzata 6.5.1947 a ponechana v Praze. Dne 23.5.1951 presla do Bratislavy. Po zeleznicni nehode opravu lokomotivy provedly v breznu 1954 dilny v Ceskych Velenicich.
Dne 25.11.1966 ji prevzalo depo v Plzni, kde slouzila do dubna 1970. Navrh na zruseni nese datum 27.4.1970. S tridou zachovalosti 2 se pak lokomotiva stala vytapecim kotlem K 445 a vytapela v domovskem depu. Do Kovosrotu v Plzni ji prevezli 6.12.1973.

Railway accidents - Sakvice
CACHE
The coordinates will take you to a site where the second deadliest railway accident in Czech history occured in 1953. The cache is an easy-to-find PET bottle prefabricate located at the end of the platform, which is freely accessible to pedestrians. I urge you not to annoy the station staff by running across the track or by meddling with any railway equipment; they don't like it. And the watchful local inhabitants even so.
This is essentially all you need for a successful cache hunt. The following info is for those geocachers who want to know the whole story behind this location.
LOCATION STORY
Local train
Brno - Breclav railway line, early morning of December 24, 1953. Local train Os 718 departs from Brno at 1:30 a.m. As scheduled track at the Sakvice station has been momentarily blocked, the train stops at approach semaphore 200 m before station and is awaiting the "clear" signal. Many passengers from Sakvice, believing they have already reached their destination, leave the train, some impatient of them decide to wait no longer, they walk across field towards their homes. Those are the lucky ones, the survivors. Many more people remains in the crammed train, even aisles are full.
Express train
On the same line and direction express train R 4 hauled by an Albatross class steam locomotive 498.033 is rolling. Through village of Vranovice it dashes at 90 km speed. Nobody of the crew has noticed the 40 km/h limit for that section. And no wonder. All three men - driver, fireman and conductor - are tipsy and falling asleep. Christmas at hand, they have drunk pretty much red wine. They pass even "stop" signal at the Obecni pole block post. And to make things worse, another train, an express from Bratislava, comes in the opposite direction. The engine crew wakes no earlier than shortly before Sakvice, thanks to rumble of a freight train they encounter passing by on the other track. They can even see a "clear" signal. Unbeknownst to them, this green light is actually addressed to local passenger train Os 718, already awaiting this clearance for a while. Now, nothing can prevent the collision.
A crash
The express plunges into standing local train at speed of 86 km/h. The results are tragical: 103 fatalities and 83 people injured (some unofficial sources give even greater toll). Nine wagons of the local train were turned into wrecks as well as 3 wagons and locomotive of the express. One of derailed wagons then caused damege also to express from Bratislava, just coming on the opposite track. "People were robbing the corpses, stealing their watches, wallets. To maintain order, army had to be summoned on the next day," describes the events Jan Svoboda, municipal chronicler of Sakvice.
Investigation and penalties
All those, responsible for the accident, were among survivors. They, however, couldn't avoid punishment. Their sentences were as folowing:
- Ambroz Ruzicka, driver - 5 years,
- Stefan Adamec, fireman - 4 years,
- Josef Hubac, conductor - 3 years in prison.
Material damage, as summarised by the court, reached 5 million Czechoslovak crowns. About 30 participants of rescue works recieved awards from President Antonin Zapotocky.
Fate of people
By a coincidence, among passengers there were several people, who had survived another deadly railway accident (an express train - bus collision) at level crossing in nearby Podivin, three years prior to this crash.
Fate of the locomotive
The Albatros 498.033 locomotive was commissioned on May 6, 1947 and initially deployed in Prague. On May 23, 1953 it was transferred to Bratislava. After the crash it underwent repair in works in Ceske Velenice. On November 25, 1966 Plzen depot took it over and the locomotive continued to haul trains until 1970. The decommission proposal dates from April 27, 1970. The locomotive was then converted to a stationary boiler (under designation K 445) and used for heating of its home depot. Finally it ended at a scrap yard in Plzen on December 12, 1973.
Television
The events described above feature in episode 12 of a 2001 TV documentary series Osudove okamziky (Moments of Fate).
