Remarul 16 Februarie SA based in Cluj-Napoca is a railway rolling stock engineering company with services including repair, maintenance and modernisation.
History
The company's history dates back to the Austro-Hungarian period - 1870, with the creation of a railway workshop to serve the Cluj–Oradea line (Grosswardein-Klausenburg railway[1]); the works repaired wagons and locomotives.[2]
The initial wooden works building was constructed in 1870, this was replaced by substantial rolling stock works on the current site in 1874 - a locomotive repair shed of 1653m2, a wagon repair shed of 3200m2 and a mechanical workshop of 2190m2. With additional offices, warehouses the site had an area of nearly 36,000m2.[3]
In 1882 the works employed 200, by 1890 the number had risen to nearly 500. In 1918 (as a result of the Union of Transylvania with Romania) the works became the Atelierele CFR Cluj, and from 1929 to 1940 it was named Inspecţia Atelierelor Principale CFR Cluj.[4]
