Ústí is the only railway yard with ‚old fashion Czech style‘ series 122 and 123, engines series 372, which are operated on border railways to Bad Schandau and other domestic German lines, and also two engines series 755, established in 2005 by the reconstruction of older engines series 753 currently dislocated in Kralupy nad Vltavou.

An interesting workplace in the premises of Ústí railway yard is the sub-level lathe H 106 with its own drive. This workplace is unique within the whole ČD group. In 12 hour shift it is possible to turn up to three engines or wagons. Due to the great investment from the last year, the lathe hall is open for passage and it is possible to ‚turn‘ the units and wagons for ČD and other transport providers. Approximately 80 % sales represent the sales from external subjects. New lathe is under construction for ‘kolovka’ and its completion is expected this year.
