Czech Republic: CD Cargo Class 771 locomotive passes Ostrava-Stodolni on a freight train
Czech Republic: CD Cargo Class 771 locomotive 771 137-7 passes Ostrava-Stodolni on a freight train.
Clip recorded 5th July 2017.
The locomotive class 771 is a dieselectric locomotive ( diesel locomotive with electric power transmission ) designed for heavy shifting and transport of heavier freight trains . It was produced in the years 1968 - 1972 by Strojárske a metallurgické závody Dubnica nad Váhom (SMZ) as an improved version of older machines of the 770 series .
195 machines with a standard gauge of 1435 mm were delivered to ČSD , another 12 machines for a wide gauge of 1520 mm. These were intended for the eastern Slovakian transit point ( Čierna nad Tisou and Maťovce ), where they usually work in pairs to increase the tow force (the weight of the sets is up to 4,000 tons here).
Most of the locomotives were shut down in the Czech Republic until 2010 and today only a small number of machines owned by ČD Cargo , deposited in SOKV České Budějovice and Ostrava. Their main mission is still a heavy shifting and dragging of sets between cargo stations, where only two pairs of four-axle machines with higher consumption could replace them. The only machine of this series on which EDB is mounted (since 1999 ) is 771,182, home in Ostrava. Czech Railways deployed the latest locomotive 771,172 in Česká Třebová sporadically as needed, and in the future it is counted as a museum machine.
