Conserving the Romanian railway heritage. Case study: locomotives

Summary/Abstract: Every country's railway heritage is very important, given the fact that it represents an important part of a nation's identity. Romanian has a vast network of railways and rolling stock, from steam locomotives built in Resita in the 1900s, to modern day electric locomotives with asynchronous traction motors built by Softronic Craiova. This article's goal is to showcase the reasons why conserving Romania's railway heritage is important, especially when it comes to locomotives. In this article we will analyse Romania's locomotives and their attributes. The results show us that, although locomotives are an important part of Romania's heritage that the country should be proud of, they are not valued to the fullest extent possible.
