Ex-CSD T334.0869 and CD 103001-4 in the CD Muzeum |
| Description: |
#T334.0869 is classified as a T334 Class under the old pre-1988 numbering scheme, and as a Class 710 under the modern system. As most Czech diesels are diesel-electrics, the 710 Class is unusual in that it is a diesel-hydraulic. Power is only 300Kw (402 horsepower), which is another factor making these units obsolete. Although I dont know T3340869s construction date, the 710 Class were built from 1961 to 1973 by CKD, and while old, are still used on CD today, although in smaller and smaller numbers, of course. Originally designed as switchers, and lot of them are now used by private rail construction contractors, and some have been exported to Germany, Hungary, Serbia, and Sweden. Many also were also transferred to ZSSK in Slovakia after 1993. This unit is more or less in the original CSD livery, other than that it doesnt have a red star on the nose. |
