Romania

Dej: The city of Dej, located in the Transylvanian mountains (in German: Siebenbuergen - seven castles), although never had a castle, but two big roundhouses in the depot. One of the roundhouses still stands today and is home for a few steam locomotives, sadly all unoperational today. In the early 90s it was different: with 150.139 and 230.299 two operational engines were available for special trains, but run very rare. In addition, the depot has to offer very interesting locomotives at the scrap yard.
