A Hungarian-built MÁVAG 490 at Viseu de Sus
Informations from Attila Kirchner: Built by MÁVAG in 1922 with number 4680 for Eastern-Hungarian Lumber PLC. It first went into service in the 7th of March, 1922 between Sudric and Petros, named simply V. After WW2 in 1948 it went to the Romanian forestry with number CFF 764.313. Reports hold hat in 1993 it was still working at Viseu de Sus, but it was stopped before 2000. Since then its condition is deteriorating, but they plan to revive it to wrking order in mid-term.
