The train will be led by steam locomotive 464.102 "Ušatá" from 1940, a unique testament to interwar Czechoslovak steam locomotive engineering. The locomotive served on lines until 1978, after which it was transferred to the NTM collection. Following extensive restoration completed in 2023, the machine has been restored to flawless technical condition ensuring long-term operability. It has been given a representative appearance matching the 1950s era. Visitors will travel in carriages from the final decades before the end of steam operations.
