Details

Nicknamed the "diving goggles" or "spectacle snake," the T 478.3 diesel locomotives were developed and built by CKD in Prague. The first prototypes were introduced in 1968, marking a significant step forward from the earlier T 478.1 class. The most notable improvement was the replacement of the engine, boosting power output from 1,104 kW to 1,360 kW. Their distinctive glare-free driver’s cabs gave them their memorable nickname. In total, 408 of these diesel-electric universal locomotives were produced, making them a landmark in Czechoslovakian railway engineering and a highly regarded choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
