In Czechia it is not often that you board a train driven by a woman. The first documented case of a woman driving a locomotive in Czechoslovakia was Margita Horváthová back in 1963. More than 60 years later, female train drivers are still few and far between. Of the 9,162 train drivers in the Czech Republic today, only 110 of them are women. One of them is Marie Sehnalová who has been a train driver with Czech Railways for 12 years. She mainly drives diesel trains in Prague and its surroundings. Radio Prague International joined her on a journey from Prague to Čerčany.
Tuesday evening at Prague Central Station.
