Overview of the Electroputere CFR 460

Discover the CFR 460 electric locomotive, a robust rail transport with a significant history in Romania.

Built by Electroputere between 1973 and 1984, the CFR 460, originally derived from the ASEA SJ Rb / JŽ 441 models, has been a cornerstone for CFR Călători passenger services.

With a top speed of 120 km/h, a power output of 3400 kW, and a tractive effort of 275 kN, this locomotive was designed for reliable performance, weighing 108 tons on a standard 1435 mm gauge.

Its Bo'Bo' classification and 25 kV AC 50 Hz electric system highlight its efficiency and versatility in Romanian rail transport.

Refurbished by Promat, the CFR 460 continues to represent a key piece in the evolution of rail transportation.
