Nádraží Zákolany je železnicní uzel na trati c.093 (Kralupy nad Vltavou - Kladno). Tato trat je neelektrifikovaná, jednokolejná a slouží pro osobní i nákladní železnicní dopravu. Stanicí Zákolany každý den projíždí dva nákladní vlaky spolecnosti Advanced World Transport s hnedým uhlím ze severních Cech pro kladenskou elektrárnu. Výškový rozdíl, který musí zdolat vlak jedoucí z Kralup do Kladna je 165 metru. Vlaky jedoucí v opacném smeru musí mít zkušenou posádku a opravdu dobré brzdy. Pri železnicním neštestí prímo v této stanici narazil 25. ledna 1964 neovladatelný a pretížený nákladní vlak do stojící osobní soupravy. Zemrelo zde 14 lidí. Tedy, pokud zde nastupujete do vlaku, venujte pozornost nudným nápisum jako napr. "Nouzová brzda", "Nouzový východ" a nechte vypnutý mp3 prehrávac ve svém chytrém telefonu. Potrebujete slyšet houkání a skrípání vlaku, který se na vás rítí z kopce dolu.

Zákolany railway station is a railway node on track No.093 (Kralupy nad Vltavou - Kladno). This track is non-electrified, monorail and serves for passenger and freight rail transport. The Zákolany station passes two freight trains of Advanced World Transport with brown coal from Northern Bohemia for the Kladno power plant every day. The height difference that must be fought by a train from Kralupy to Kladno is 165 meters. Trains running in the opposite direction must have an experienced crew and really good brakes. In the railway accident at this station, on January 25, 1964, an unmanageable and overloaded freight train stumbled into a standing passenger train. 14 people died here. So, if you get into the train, pay attention to boring signs such as "Emergency Brake", "Emergency Exit" and let the mp3 player off in your smart phone. You need to hear the whistle and squeaking of a train that is rushing downhill.
