The class 751 is a diesel-electric universal locomotive. Between 1966 and 1971, 230 class locomotives were built for the CSD at the CKD factory in Prague. The locomotive reached a top speed of 100 km/h. The 6-cylinder motor with a turbocharger produced 1,500 hp.

Their working range extended from international express trains to passenger trains and heavy goods trains to "collectors" (shunting trains). They were also to be found in the border stations of the neighbouring countries. The large projections under the front windows quickly earned her the nickname "Bardotka", loosely related to Brigitte Bardot, the French actress.
