• Remark: Broad gauge Class 770 locomotive that was originally manufactured for the Iraqi railways. In fact, the locomotive never made it to Iraq and instead found its use in the field of industry in the former Czechoslovakia, in VSŽ Košice Steelworks (currently U.S.Steel Košice), and they still use it in there till this day. What is notable is the difference in how the cooling grills on the front sides are made since on this Iraqi locomotives they used 4 instead of 3 cooling grilles that are usually used on these locomotives. The 4 grilles were designed this way for a better cooling of the engine in the hot desert climate of Iraq. Also visible is the automatic coupling that is installed on the locomotive, which is typical for the broad gauge vehicles of the ŠRT line (Uzhhorod – Haniska pri Košiciach).
