History

Serbian Railway have bought first 621 series shunter locomotive in 2001. In 2005 year 22 more locomotives were introduced in service. Later two more second-hand shunters from Czech Republic industrial railways were bought. This series is originally ČMKS 709, series 621-100 is 709.401, 621-200 is 709.701 and 621-300 is 709.5. The Kolubara coal basin also bought 621 class locomotives for hauling lighter freight coal trains.

There are today 15 locomotives of this series operated by Serbian Railways and two operated by Rail transport of Kolubara coal basin. This locomotives are built for heavy shunting.
