<br><b>060-DA-001</b>
<br>This is the first class 60 locomotive built in 1959 by SLM Winterthur. It was the first locomotive from a series of 2489 units! It was designed in 1956 and built in 1959, using a 2100 HP Diesel engine built by Sulzer Witherthur, electric equipment built by BBC Baden and mechanical parts by SLM Wintherthut. Other 5 locomotives were delivered to the Romanian Railways in the same year, then the production was asimilated by Electroputere Craiova, with Diesel engine made in Resita and bogies made by Caromet Caransebes.
<br>The 060-DA-001 was retired at the end of the '80s and preserved inside Dej Yard. The enthusiastic employees of the yard save it then and manage to restore it to its original condition (except the Diesel engine: a Romanian-built engine was installed) in 2008. It was displayed at the Romanian Railway Days in 2008 and 2009.
