Monday, march 12th

The access to the shed where our 64.169 is located, in Cug, has been arranged with the local security service by our P8-team. Tomorrow, the locomotive will leave this place for the first time in 2 years, hauled by a TransFerroviaria locomotive. She will be shipped to Cluj-Est or Cluj-Depot, depending of the availability of an inspection pit. Here our team will execute a technical revision and braking tests.

The transport letter for the transport is filled out and a company specialised in export is getting the revised route and transporting costs (compared to 2005…) from the different railway companies involved.

In order for the locomotive to legally leave the country, we still need an official document from the Romanian ministry of culture and tourism. We try to have this document signed by the minister in Budapest as soon as possible!

To be continued…
