The ČSD Class T 499.0 (ČD Class 759 since 1987) is a Czech diesel electric locomotive originally designed for express passenger use on unelectrified lines. Two locomotives were built by ČKD as prototypes, with the locomotive never entering mass production, due to the locomotive's high weight, and progress in electrifying main lines.
