Class 183 locomotives are 46 years old; they were built from 1971 onwards. Their main job is banking heavy freight trains for the steelworks, hauled by class 131 engines, on line 320 Bohumin – Cadca, since this line runs through the Jablunkov Pass (countless times I saw that if the driver did not apply the brake, the train had a tendency to start rolling).
Today, just like the aforementioned 131s, they are leased to Poland, mainly to private operators.
Already visibly worn by the ravages of time at Strba zastavka, 2002.
With a fresh coat of paint, she is a joy to look at again. Horni Lidec, 2007 
Here is my shot from April 9, 2017 at Cesky Tesin station, where she was coupled to a CD Cargo loco and hauled away. If she did not have such unusual, unexpected and interesting replacement headlights, I would not even have noticed her. In the background, an anti-drug train. 
Lettering in Polish, now that’s what I call service
The Polish side can re-number her however they like 🙂
