Romanian railway is one of the most secure in Europe. Initiatives of reconstruction and rehabilitation of infrastructure represent a priority...

The Company is proud of the very high indicators of security and the first objective is represented by the maintenance of them at the same level. On the railway network the security is the most important. It is normal that punctuality reflects better the quality of the services offered but it is preferred scarifying it when the security could be affected.

The Romanian railway infrastructure is of medium quality, having lines where the limit speed is 140km/h but also secondary lines with lower speed.
The level of automatization and action at the distance is enough high the main point being, in the actual circumstances, the high level of electrification, which has a low negative impact on the environment.
National Railway Company "CFR" SA is concerned constantly of rehabilitation (this implies major repairs and modernization of the requirements of interoperability with the neighboring countries so that not being excluded from the international transport) of the railway transoms included in the European transport routes.
