The locomotive 475.111 Šlechtična was manufactured in 1947 by Škoda Locomotive in Pilsen and was used almost immediately after its manufacture on the Pilsen - Pilsen - Cheb fast trains. It is one of the icons not only of Czechoslovak steam locomotives. It was in regular service for 30 years until 1977.

The program was prepared by the Pilsen Region in cooperation with the Iron Monument Club.
