April
This is the last locomotive of the first series of 10 locomotives
delivered by ASEA Sweden (the previous 9 units are registered as
060-EA).
It was fitted with an experimental electric apparatus with mixed rectifier bridges (silicone diodes and thyristors) which allowed regenerative braking. It remained the only unit of this type as no other locomotives are built in this configuration.
It was assigned to Brasov depot.

1980
In 1980, the locomotive is sent to Electroputere Craiova for a major overhaul.
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.
