The so-called “Taucherbrille” (Diver’s goggles) or “Brillenschlange” (Spectacled cobra) was developed and built at CKD in Prague. The class T 478.3 (from 1988 series 753) was supplied to the CSD from 1970 onwards, and these 408 locomotives became a familiar sight on non-electrified main lines. Due to a lack of locomotives with electrical train heating, over 100 of these engines were retrofitted from 1991. The Reko locomotives received the new class designation 750, whereby the serial number remained the same.
