The ČSD series E 416.0 was an electric locomotive of the former Czechoslovak State Railways ČSD, which was intended for shunting service in the Prague node .
History and commitment
Even before the start of electrical operation in the Prague node, tests with battery locomotives were carried out to reduce air pollution in the tunnels around Prague main train station due to the increasing steam locomotive operation for moving work. The first such locomotive was equipped by Frantisek Krizik and Wide Field & Danek made E 407.0 , which started the trial service in June 1926th
From this machine and the successor series E 417.0 , 8 locomotives of the series E 416.0 were built from 1943 , this time by Škoda in Plzeň . Production dragged on until the first few years after the Second World War .
The battery locomotives had the advantage that they could operate freely even on non-electrified tracks. Overall, they were very popular. Lt. In 1953, the source was still 2/5 of all electric locomotives for ČSD battery locomotives .
The literature does not reveal anything about the further use of the locomotives. It can be assumed that after the Prague node was reconnected to 3000 V direct current around 1962, it was no longer possible to use it in an operational manner.
