Since autumn 2019, the two companies enhanced their cooperation: ČD Cargo provides transports of heavy transformers to support the company Felbermayr Transport- und Hebetechnik.
On November 28th, a 206 tonnes transformer arrived on the ČEPS rail siding in Mochov. A special 24-axle flat bed-wagon was used for its transport. The speed of the train was limited to a maximum of 50 km/h and the transport took place mainly by night.
The special train was hauled by an independent traction locomotive of the 750 series. Only shunting on the Mochov siding was accomplished by the kocour locomotive 742.403.
