On April 18, 1945 three locomotives without stream were hit in the RR station of Kaznejov, approx. 10 miles north of Pilsen, at 6.15 p.m. While two of them may have been simply left bullet-ridden as usual the last one was thrown to the field in the distance of tens of yards due to explosion of ammunition that was loaded in a box car standing on the side track! It remained there as it was for a couple of weeks until it went directly to scrap. As far as I can tell this is the only case of a total loss of a locomotive to fighter-bombers in the Czech territory.
Two pictures show what happened to the locomotive (copy: courtesy of Mr. Pavel Spěvák).
