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, receiving a completely modernised body, new driver's cabs and a powerful Caterpillar diesel engine. The result combined the proven four-axle design of the original locomotives with modern equipment for contemporary railway operations.

With an output of 1,550 kW and a maximum speed of 100 km/h, the Class 753.6 is particularly suited to heavy freight traffic. EffiLiner 1600 locomotives operate on freight services in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland, making the type an important part of modern Central European diesel traction.
