Romania receives first five Alstom Traxx electric locomotives for passenger services

Romania received the first five Traxx Passenger electric locomotives ordered by the Railway Reform Authority ARF, marking the latest step in the country's railway fleet renewal program. The locomotives have been handed over to state-owned passenger rail operator CFR Călători and are expected to enter commercial service once the remaining regulatory procedures are completed.

The reception of the locomotives - units LE 002, LE 003, LE 004, LE 006 and LE 007 - took place on Thursday, July 30, at Alstom's depot at the CFR Grivița workshops in Bucharest.
