České dráhy (ČD) or Czech Railways is the main railway operator in the Czech Republic. In 2010 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 41.0 billion (€1.6bn, $2.1bn). Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 18.7 billion (65% transfer payments from the government, 25% intra-state transport, 10% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11.8 billion, revenues from traffic control invoiced to state-owned railway infrastructure operator SŽDC amounted to CZK 5.2 billion. With thirty-eight thousand employees ČD Group is the largest Czech company by the number of employees.
The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railways Cooperation (Asia and Europe).
Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic. After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidies, the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007 although it receives government subsidies. Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.
ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidies available to ČD and SŽDC.
ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.

Czech Republic: CD Cargo Class 771 locomotive passes Ostrava-Stodolni on a freight train
Czech Republic: CD Cargo Class 771 locomotive 771 137-7 passes Ostrava-Stodolni on a freight train.
Clip recorded 5th July 2017.
The locomotive class 771 is a dieselectric locomotive ( diesel locomotive with electric power transmission ) designed for heavy shifting and transport of heavier freight trains . It was produced in the years 1968 - 1972 by Strojárske a metallurgické závody Dubnica nad Váhom (SMZ) as an improved version of older machines of the 770 series .
195 machines with a standard gauge of 1435 mm were delivered to ČSD , another 12 machines for a wide gauge of 1520 mm. These were intended for the eastern Slovakian transit point ( Čierna nad Tisou and Maťovce ), where they usually work in pairs to increase the tow force (the weight of the sets is up to 4,000 tons here).
Most of the locomotives were shut down in the Czech Republic until 2010 and today only a small number of machines owned by ČD Cargo , deposited in SOKV České Budějovice and Ostrava. Their main mission is still a heavy shifting and dragging of sets between cargo stations, where only two pairs of four-axle machines with higher consumption could replace them. The only machine of this series on which EDB is mounted (since 1999 ) is 771,182, home in Ostrava. Czech Railways deployed the latest locomotive 771,172 in Česká Třebová sporadically as needed, and in the future it is counted as a museum machine.
