MAV) No. 324.951 at the museum at Sibiu depot on 7 October 1997. Large numbers of this class of loco was built for the Hungarian Railways (MAV) before WW1. At the time Sibiu was in Hungary but when the Austro/Hungarian Empire was split up after WW1 it became part of Romania. For some reason some locos inherited by the CFR were not renumbered to their standard format. Most standard gauge numbering in Romania follows the French system and is based on the number of the loco's axils eg a class 150 is a 2.10..0 etc.
