Diesel locomotives

The diesel electric locomotives employed by CFR and built by Electroputere Craiova are known as classes 60 to 68 and originally registered under the series 060-DA. They were based on a design created by SLM Winterthur, BBC Baden and Sulzer Winterthur and bears, externally, resemblance to AE 6/6 Swiss electric locomotives.[1] New diesel modernised (post-1999) locomotives are painted in blue livery, while older ones have grey livery.[2][3]

gollark: If not better, since getting lots of cores costs less.
gollark: Stuff after that is probably fine.
gollark: Basically all pre-Zen AMD stuff is noncompetitive and bad.
gollark: The chipset does matter, though, since boards with older chipsets might not support newer CPUs even if the sockets match.
gollark: Anyway, LGA1156 (westmere/nehalem), LGA1155 (sandy/ivy bridge) and LGA1150 (haswell/broadwell) are the desktoppy DDR3-supporting sockets.
