Double traction with 60-1045-8



1045 is with nice livery! :)) Good photo.
I have a question - in Romania train drivers operate with the same locomotives every time or each time with different locomotives ? This third headlight at the front is tuning from the driver ?
Usually the engines change between them, but not between depots. We have 9 functional DA locomotives at Targu-Mures belonging to CFR Marfa. Most of them operate on our line with the chemical trains (AZOMURES fertilizers plant), but sometimes we spread them to Sibiu, Coslariu or Brasov, working points which have to be covered by our depot or if the 040-DHC (class 80 / 81) which already operate offside our line are too weak for the dispatches given.

The third headlight is added by the depot staff, but there are engines like 1194, 1309, 934 or 896 which don't have it.
Thanks for info. Do they need the third light ? Or placed for a better exterior of loc ?
I don't know, but I think it's much more easy to maintain instead of the other headlight above the cabin.
