In the 1970s, the former Czechoslovak State Railway (CSD) were in great need of powerful diesel freight locomotives for medium-weight shunting and line service. For this purpose, the lighter variant T 466.2 was derived from the industrial locomotive type T 448. Starting from 1977, it was manufactured by CKD Prag with 494 units in nine construction series (each with small differences) and came into service until 1986.
In 1998, the series designation T 466.2 was changed to 742. Many locomotives are still in use today in freight transport for ZSSK Cargo on Slovakian rails.
