Historical Background

The Rh 753.6 belongs to the EffiLiner 1600 family developed by CZ LOKO. These modern diesel-electric locomotives were created through comprehensive rebuilding of older CD Class 753 locomotives, themselves descended from the successful CSD T 478.3 design. The rebuild programme introduced a completely modernised body, new driving cabs and a powerful Caterpillar diesel engine, transforming the ageing locomotives into modern freight locomotives.

The EffiLiner 1600 has an output of 1,550 kW and a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Its combination of substantial power and robust four-axle design makes it particularly suited to heavy freight traffic. Class 753.6 locomotives are used across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland, making them an important part of modern Central European freight operations. The prototype represented by this model was formerly operated by Rail Cargo Carrier before entering service with CD Cargo.
