RegioJet’s First ASTRA-Built Carriage On Test In Făurei

On 25 August 2014 a Class Bpmz 61 81 20-90 001 carriage, the first of the batch ordered by RegioJet from ASTRA Vagoane Călători, was moved from Bucuresti to AFER’s test circuit in Făurei (about 140 km northeast from Bucuresti) for dynamic tests. The first photos in this selection show the vehicle during its morning arrival at Făurei. Haulage was provided by CFR’s 200 km/h electric 473 004, which is to be used in conjunction with testing the carriage. The other two photos show AFER’s test circuit base in August 2014.
