The diesel electric locomotives employed by CFR and built by ElectroputereCraiova are known as classes 60 to 68 and originally registered under the series 060-DA. They were based on a design created by SLM Winterthur, BBC Baden and Sulzer Winterthur and bears, externally, resemblance to AE 6/6 Swiss electric locomotives.[1] New diesel modernised (post-1999) locomotives are painted in blue livery, while older ones have grey livery.[2][3]

Electric locomotives
The electric locomotives employed by Romanian Railways-CFR and built by ElectroputereCraiova are known as EA-type and were originally based on the license of the Swedish company ASEA.[21] All are built for standard gauge (1435 mm) and run using a catenary wire at 50 Hz 25 kV AC. Older electric locomotives are painted in grey livery, while modernised (post-1999) rolling stock use red livery.[22][23]
