It was assigned to Brasov depot.

Unfortunately it could not be repaired in the same technical configuration and by 1991 it is reconfigured as a Class 41 electric locomotive.
In 1990, after the accident suffered by the first Romanian electric locomotive delivered by ASEA in 1965 (unit 060-EA-001), it is initially intended to renumber this locomotive as the new first number of the series. Finally this unit returns to Brasov depot as unit 41-0931-1.
