Diesel-hydraulic locomotive prototype
Croatian language - Hrvatski jezik
The sole unit of the 743 series, nicknamed »Blue Bird« was built as a
prototype at Gjuro Gjakovic Works. It was planned to construct a locomotive
superior to 643 series, apt for heavy shunting and hauling of light trains.
However, at that time emerged a locomotive series of General Motors type of the
same power, and consequently further production of the 743 series was no longer
indispensable.
