Historical Background

The CSD M 152.0 was developed to replace the ageing M 131.1 diesel railcars on local and regional services. Series production began in 1975, with the compact two-axle railcars designed for economical operation on secondary routes and branch lines. Powered by a 155 kW six-cylinder diesel engine, they could reach a maximum speed of 80 km/h and provided 56 passenger seats.

Numerous livery variations appeared during the service life of the M 152.0 family. The red livery with a beige waist band became established with CSD during the 1980s. Following the division of Czechoslovakia, the railcars were transferred to the Czech Railways (CD), where they continued to operate on branch lines both with and without trailers. Under the CD numbering system, the M 152.0 railcars became Class 810, making the 810 458-0 a representative of one of the most familiar Czech local railcar types.
