CFR Class 47

The CFR Class 47 is a class of electric locomotives built for Romanian railway operators for use on the Romanian electrified network.

They were originally built by Electroputere from 1965 to 1991 and designated as the CFR class 40 or 41.

Starting with the mid 1990s, it was decided to rebuild a number of locomotives, a number of them being modernised between 1998 and 2002 by Siemens-Secheron, resulting in CFR Class 45.

The project however was stopped and it wasn't until 2006 when PROMAT and Softronic decided to rebuild a number of locomotives for freight use.

Starting in 2007, the passenger locomotive modernisations began as well, but only by Softronic.
