Many branchline services in the Czech Republic are run by Class 749 diesels, which are if anything overkill for the job. They have about 1103kw of power, or about 1479 horsepower, and can run about 100Km/h at maximum speed. The horsepower isn't high for a freight locomotive, and if anything isn't enough, but for hauling only two bi-level coaches at slow speed it's quite a lot.
