Historical Background

The Rh 753.6 belongs to the EffiLiner 1600 family developed by CZ LOKO. These modern diesel-electric locomotives were created through extensive rebuilding of older CD Class 753 locomotives, themselves derived from the successful CSD T 478.3 design. The rebuilding programme introduced a completely modernised superstructure, new driver's cabs and a powerful Caterpillar diesel engine, transforming the older locomotives into modern freight machines.

The EffiLiner 1600 develops 1,550 kW and has a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Its four-axle configuration, substantial power and modernised equipment make it particularly well suited to heavy freight traffic. Class 753.6 locomotives operate on freight services in the Czech Republic and have also seen use in neighbouring Central European countries including Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. The Rh 753.6 therefore provides an authentic representation of modern private and freight railway operations in the region.
