The so-called "diving goggles" or "spectacle snake" was developed and built at CKD in Prague. The first prototypes of the T 478.3 diesel locomotive series were built in 1968. The most significant change compared to the T 478.1 predecessor type was the replacement of the combustion engine, which increased the output from 1,104 kW to 1,360 kW. The locomotives earned their nickname from their distinctive appearance, featuring glare-free driver's cabs. A total of 408 diesel-electric universal locomotives were built.
