The CFR Calatori 40 007 seen exhibited at Dej Triaj
The class TIVc., later series 40 of the MÁV was designed for the Caransebes - Bautari - Subcetate rack-and-pinion railway. Many locomotives survived its closure, one locomotive is on display at Subcetate, by the main road, and another one is here, at the Dej freight yard depot. One locomotive was moved to Slovakia, to the Tisovec - Brezno rack railway, where originally similar (but 4-8-0 wheel arrangement) TIVb. locomotives worked. Since the TIVc. was never adopted by the ČSD and CFR never worked in Czechoslovakia the TIVc. locomotive is used with the markings of Magyar Királyi Államvasutak, or His Majesty's Hungarian State Railways. Photos of the beautiful locomotive and great high-mountain environment can be seen here .
