The prototype: The T 679.1 series

From 1966, the Czechoslovak State Railroad (CSD) received a total of 599 locomotives of the T 679 series. The robust diesel locomotives were mainly used for heavy freight train service and proved themselves through their reliability and performance. Some locomotives were produced as broad gauge versions under the designation T 679.5. The striking design with small yellow bars on the front and the impressive tractive power made the T 679.1 an icon of Era IV.

The locomotives of this series shaped the image of rail freight transport in the former Czechoslovakia and were used until the late 1980s.
