They were also used outside Czechoslovakia in Poland as the class EP05 and in the Soviet Union as ЧС3 (ChS3).After the fall of the iron curtain and consequent upheavals in railway operations they remain in use with a number of railways. Still in the 1980s ČSD locomotives were renumbered to the class 141.
