The T 478.1 and T 478.2 classes are diesel-electric general-purpose locomotives. The striking appearance of these locomotives is reflected in the nickname “Bardotka”, after the French actress Brigitte Bardot. A total of 230 series locomotives were built for what was then the CSD in the CKD works in Prague in the years spanning 1966 to 1971.
With the introduction of EDP-compliant traction unit numbers in 1988, the locomotives were given the new designation 751 or 752. Since 1998, the class 751 CD locomotives have been painted in a uniform grey/red livery and mainly used for freight transport.
