I thin you deserve short story: In March of 1972 first three locomotives of new class T478.3 arrived in Brno. Their numbers were 021, 022 (this one) and 023. After exchange of vapor generator for steam heating to generator for electrical one, locomotive received new class 750 in 90s'. After almost 40 years (39 and 1/2) this locomotive engine was stopped for the last time and this beauty take it' s last journey to be rebuilt again, but to brand new class 750.7. Only the bogies and few panels of body were used again... Instead of nice deep rumbling of K12 V230 DR we should "listen" to boring "no sound" of Caterpillar.
The point is that 750.022-6 spent whole life in Brno. This photo was shooted during it's return to Brno from regular duty to Okříšky. My friend was behind the thottle, so we decided to make some pictures whenever we like to. And this is one of it.
