The so called "diver's glasses" diesels used to be quite common in former Czechoslovakia and they are even today much
used in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Italy. They used to be of the old class T478.3 but many of them have been rebuilt in
several different ways at different times. This one belongs to the class 757. There are 25 of them and they are former
Slovakian class 750 machines, originally built in 1968, which were rebuilt by ZOS Zvolen in 2010-2015. It's a four axle
machine with a power rating of 1550 kW and a top speed of 100 km/h. They are mainly used in passenger trains.
