Line 900 is one of CFR's main lines in Romania having a total length of about 533 km (331 mi). The main line, connecting Bucharest with the western city of Timișoara, passes through the important cities of Craiova, Drobeta-Turnu Severin and Lugoj.
CFR operates several different passenger services as compared to other private operators which only offer slow train and medium speed train operations (ex. Regiotrans, Regional). CFR had the following operating classes for passenger services until 11 December 2011, when the newly harmonised European classifications of trains came into order:
The sudden cessation of Regiotrans services, with virtually no notice, took many travellers by surprise; some passengers being stranded in fields. Their Regiotrans season tickets were honoured by CFR, but clearly only if CFR were providing an emergency replacement. A refund, however, was available for longer period season ticket holders.
Push-pull operations on the electrified standard gauge lines are often carried out using locomotives of the Electroputere LE5100 family (or CFR Class 47). DMUs include the X 4500 and X 72500 (both ex SNCF) and CFR Class 96. Previously operating EMUs included the CFR Class TEA. Romania is a member of the International Union of Railways (UIC).
