Historical Background

The Rh 753.6 belongs to the EffiLiner 1600 family developed by CZ LOKO. The locomotives were created through comprehensive rebuilding of older CD Class 753 diesel locomotives, giving them a completely modernised body, new driver's cabs and a modern Caterpillar diesel engine. The rebuilt locomotives combine the proven four-axle design of the original class with substantially upgraded equipment for contemporary freight operations.

The EffiLiner 1600 has an output of 1,550 kW and a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Its combination of modern diesel-electric equipment and four-axle configuration makes it particularly suitable for heavy freight traffic. Class 753.6 locomotives are used across Central Europe, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. The prototype represented by this model was formerly operated by Rail Cargo Carrier before entering service with CD Cargo.
