Class T 478.1 is a diesel-electric universal locomotive. Between 1966 and 1971, class 230 series locomotives were built for the CSD at the CKD factory in Prague. The locomotive reached a top speed of 100 km/h. The six-cylinder motor with a turbocharger had a power output of 1.500 hp.
They hauled all kinds of trains, from international express trains to passenger trains, from heavy goods trains to "collectors" (shunting trains). They were also to be found in the border stations of neighbouring countries. The large stems under the front windows quickly earned her the nickname "Bardotka", loosely related to Brigitte Bardot, the French actress.
