Novelty 2026: Reliable shunting power under overhead wires – the ČSD Class 210
Between 1973 and 1983, a total of 74 electric shunting locomotives were delivered to the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) in three production batches under the designation S 458.0. In 1988, they were redesignated as Class 210. Developed for shunting duties and light mainline service, the locomotives also proved their worth in passenger operations on routes in West and South Bohemia. Designed in parallel with the heavier E 458.0 class, they were intended to handle shunting at large passenger and freight yards as well as transfer runs using the overhead line. Operation on mains voltage required a powerful main transformer, enabling low-loss control of the traction motors. Thanks to their sophisticated control system, the locomotives could perform precise shunting even at minimal speeds of 5 km/h – an essential feature for yard operations. Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the locomotives were assigned according to their home depots to the successor companies České dráhy (ČD) and Železnice Slovenskej republiky (ŽSR), which continued the ČSD numbering scheme. A large number of these locomotives remain in service today with ČD and ZSSK Cargo, impressively demonstrating the durability and technical maturity of this compact but powerful shunting locomotive.
