In the 1970s, the former Czechoslovak State Railways (CSD) had an urgent need for powerful diesel goods locomotives for medium-heavy shunting and mainline service. As a result, the lighter T 466.2 variant was designed based on the industrial locomotive type T 448. CKD in Prag manufactured nine series (each with slight technical differences) with 94 units from 1977 onwards and was in service with the CSD until 1986.
The diesel locomotive 749 257 was converted from the original class T 478.2 (from 1988: 752). It originates from the delivery series of 82 engines without train heating facilities for goods train operation. In the 1990s, the locomotive was retrofitted with electric heating and renamed the class 749. This modification was prompted by the more economic utilisation of the Bardotkas in front of short trains. The locomotive was also given the attractive Šumperker colour scheme, which was applied to multiple locomotives in different colour combinations. This locomotive was used both for passenger and for goods trains in the Czech Republic.
