Historical Background

The M 152.0 diesel railcars were developed by the Czechoslovak State Railways (CSD) to replace the ageing M 131.1 fleet. Series production began in 1975, with the compact two-axle railcars designed for economical operation on local and secondary routes. They were powered by a 155 kW six-cylinder inline diesel engine, had a maximum speed of 80 km/h and provided 56 passenger seats.

A wide range of liveries appeared during the service life of the M 152.0. The version 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 independently and with trailers. The M 152.0 type was renumbered Class 810 under the CD system, making the 810 458-0 a representative of one of the most familiar Czech local railcars.
