ChS4 – the first comfortable AC passenger locomotive in the former USSR The ChS4 electric locomotive was developed by the Škoda Works (Czechoslovakia) in the 1960s for hauling passenger trains on AC-electrified railways. It was the first locomotive to combine high power with improved crew comfort – featuring a modern ergonomic cab, better heating, and sound insulation, making it a major step forward compared to earlier models.
