There are now a number of independent or industrial operators running their own locomotives or units on the Czech system. They cover the whole gamut of operations from inter city passenger to short freight hauls and use a wide range of traction including some classes long extinct from CD's roster.

CD Cargo is the freight arm of Cesky Drahy, operated as a semi-independent subsidiary since late 2007. It still runs the majority of freights on the Czech system despite the arrival of foreign and independent operators. CD Cargo operates a large and varied fleet of electric locos with a smaller diesel fleet.

There is a high degree of commonality between the Czech and Slovak loco fleets and co-operation between ZSSK and CD sees Slovak locos working to Praha while Czech locos work deep into Slovakia. Slovak Class 350s are regular visitors to Praha while Classes 162 and 362 can also be seen on occasion.
The Czech Republic, a.k.a. Czechia, is a small country full of railway interest, with an attractive landscape, a variety of traction and, at one time, an almost infinite multiplicity of liveries. Sadly, modernisation is now taking its toll, making the railway more efficient and less interesting every year.
