The sleek, aerodynamic, red Slovenska Strela, the "Slovak Arrow," was put into service in 1936. She made the run between Prague and Bratislava in four hours and twenty eight minutes. Two such magnificent engines were built and taken out of regular service in 1939 with the onset of the Second World War.
