Witness the raw power and precision of Romania's classic diesel locomotive in action at Constanța railway station! In this captivating footage filmed in 2025, a CFR Class 60 (060-DA) diesel-electric locomotive from Electroputere Craiova performs shunting maneuvers with modern double-decker passenger coaches, preparing for the popular Constanța to Bucharest route. Built between 1959 and 1981 under a Swiss Sulzer license, the Class 60 series became one of Romania's most reliable and numerous diesel locomotives, with over 1,300 units produced. Powered by a 2,100 hp (1,546 kW) Sulzer 12LDA28 engine, these Co-Co wheel arrangement beasts were designed for heavy freight and passenger duties on non-electrified lines, reaching speeds up to 100 km/h.Watch as the locomotive skillfully couples and uncouples the sleek double-decker coaches – a common sight on busy summer routes along the Black Sea coast, where demand for seats surges with tourists heading to and from Bucharest.

In 2025, while many routes are electrified, these veteran Class 60 locomotives remain vital for shunting, reserve duties, and regional services, showcasing Romania's enduring railway heritage amid ongoing modernization with new electric and hybrid trains.This is a tribute to the hardworking machines and crews that keep Romania's railways running smoothly.
