The T 669 diesel locomotive, later known as the 770 series, earned its nickname from the Russian class designation ???3 ('Tschme3'), which is phonetically very close to the Czech word for bumblebee 'Cmelák'. Even when starting, its humming sound is similar to that of a bumblebee - at least from a distance. With 1.400 hp, it proved highly effective in both light and heavy shunting operations.
