CFR Network Statement2026

CFR for presentation in Annex 7.b of the DRR. Connecting Railway Networks The CFR Network has connections to all 5 neighbouring countries, as set out in the chart in Annex 2.a, and in the table with the technical characteristics of the border stations and the relevant terminals in Annex 6. 2.3 Network Description The characteristics of the network are summarised in Annex 5. The detailed description of the technical characteristics of the CFR network is set out in the Railway Infrastructure Register, RINF, prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 47 of Decision No. 108/2020 on railway system interoperability. Pursuant to it, “The Romanian Railway Notified Body which functions within the Romanian Railway Authority shall publish an infrastructure register indicating the values of the network parameters of each subsystem or of each part of the subsystem concerned, as provided in the relevant TSIs. The parameter values recorded in the infrastructure register shall be used in combination with the parameter values recorded in the vehicle marketing authorization to verify the technical compatibility between the vehicle and the network. The infrastructure register may set down conditions for using the fixed installations, as well as other restrictions. The Romanian Railway Notified Body which functions within the Romanian Railway Authority shall update the infrastructure register in accordance with the provisions of Article 49(5) of Directive 2016/797”. 2026 CFR Network Statement Version: 15.1.6 Section: Infrastructure A Page Date: 29.05.2026 28 of 98  Compania Nationala de Cai Ferate “CFR” S.A. Romania RINF can be found on the website: https://rinf.era.europa.eu/rinf Track Typologies Out of the 10 628 km of the CFR railway network, there are:  2 917 km of double-track line;  7 711 km of single-track line. These lines are highlighted on the map set out in Annex 2.a. Track Gauges The CFR railway network has the European (normal) gauge of 1 435 mm. Nevertheless, there are some short sections at the railway borders with the Ukraine (UZ) and the Republic of Moldavia (CFM), where the line with normal gauge is doubled by a line with the wide gauge of 1 520 mm along the distance from the CFR border station to the neighbouring railway administration. These lines are set out in Annex 6. Moreover, a 44 km long peage line with wide gauge (1 520 mm) is situated on the Romanian territory between the stations Teresva (UZ) – Campulung la Tisa (CFR) and Valea Viseului (CFR) – Berlibas (UZ). In order to ensure the uninterrupted international railway traffic from the normal gauge to the wide gauge, there are provided at the Romanian borders with Ukraine and the Republic of Moldavia the transhipment stations and transposition stations that are set out in the table included in Annex 6. The transhipment stations ensure the transhipment (move) of the goods from the normal gauge wagons to the broad gauge wagons and vice versa. The transposition stations ensure the transposition of the normal gauge wagons (the change of the axles/bogies) to the broad gauge wagons and vice versa. The gauge of the lines is shown on the map in Annex 2.a. Stations and Nodes The stations are sectioning points with lines for train traffic, shunting operations and other railway transport operations. In the meaning of this NS, stations also refer to movement halts. There are 904 stations on the railway network managed by CFR. The CFR Stations are shown on the railway map in Annex 2.a. The railway nodes are the stations with more than two travelling ways or the connections (railway branches) of the running line. The distances between the stations (nodes) are set out in the rail service books which are drawn up and published annually by CFR, and regularly in the „Kilometre indicator”. Loading Gauge The loading gauge on the CFR network is “the CFR wagon loading gauge” the sizes of which are set out in the UIC Loading Guidelines (former Annex II RIV). The loading gauge applicable on the CFR network is indicated in the Instructions No. 328/2008 on exceptional transports on the railway infrastructure set out in Article 2.3.5. of the NS. 2026 CFR Network Statement Version: 15.1.6 Section: Infrastructure A Page Date: 29.05.2026 29 of 98  Compania Nationala de Cai Ferate “CFR” S.A. Romania The transports exceeding the sizes of “the CFR wagon loading gauge” are considered exceptional transports (out-of-loading gauge), and are dealt with in accordance with the the instructions for the admission and dispatch of exceptional transports on the public infrastructure no. 328, approved by Order of the Minister of Transport no. 103/29.01.2008, for each and every case and route. Weight Limits The maximum axle load for the lines of CFR is 20 tones/axle. The maximum weight a dmitted per linear meter of the lines of CFR is 7.2 tones/meter. The transports exceeding the maximum admitted load and/or the maximum admitted weight are considered exceptional transports (with exceeded tonnage), and are dealt with in accordance with the Instructions No. 328/2008 for each and every case and route. On CFR lines that have been rehabilitated, the maximum permissible axle load is 22.5 tons/axle. On these lines, the maximum weight allowed per linear meter is 8.00 tons/meter. The lines on which the maximum permissible axle load is 22.5 tons/axle and the maximum permissible weight per linear meter is 8.00 tons/meter are shown in the following table.

In certain cases, CFR may approve a longer train length if some certain specific operating conditions are complied with. The useful lengths of the lines in the stations are included in the Technical Operation Plans of each station, and may be made available by the Traffic Directorate. The contact data are those specified at point 1.6 of the NS. Power Supply Commencing with 1 September 2014, the traction current is purchased on the electricity market OPCOM by SC “Electrificare CFR” SA, a specialized subsidiary of CFR. The traction current (TC) is transformed from 110 KV to 25 KV in the CFR traction substations, and is distributed in the contact wire. The elements of the traction current supply system are part of the public railway infrastructure managed by CFR. Power system characteristic: - the current supply voltage: 25 KV nominal - the frequency of the contact wire: 50 Hz nominal - the height of the contact wire as to the head of the track: 5 750 mm/5500 mm The map containing the electrified lines is set out in Annex 2.a.

Romania Signalling Systems The Romanian railway infrastructure is equipped with two-speed step signalling systems, and multiple- speed step signalling systems, both types being equipped with additional signalling devices, as necessary. The indications of set or reduced speed are sent by the traffic lights, light signals, and indicators that are preceded by warning beacons, as necessary. The signals mainly cover the sectioning points, the level crossings (barriers), and the running line branches, and are usually placed on the right side of the line, in the running direction of the train or above the line axis. Depending on the signalling installations mounted in the stations and on the running lines, the following systems are used for organising the train traffic: a) the train traffic based on phone agreement – free way; b) the train traffic based on the Automatic Block Line (ABL); c) the train traffic based on the dispatching installation; d) the interlocked management of the train traffic. The ABL traffic system is implemented on the main lines and on the lines with significant traffic. For the control of the correct perception, interpretation and application of the signal indications by the driver, the signalling installations are equipped with automatic train speed control (INDUSI with/or ETCS), in case of non-observance by the locomotive driver of the indications of the signals/authorization of movement. The INDUSI and ETCS systems ensures at least: a) the spot (INDUSI) or continuous (ETCS) control of the train speed depending on the train rank; b) the automatic braking of the train, if the driver is not watchful/does not respect the maximum imposed speed; The level crossings are signalled with the help of 1.195 automatic signalling installations with and without half-barriers (automatic half-barrier at level crossing, automatic signalling at level crossing). The specific regulations regarding the signalling used on the Romanian railway infrastructure are set out in the Signalling Regulation No. 004/2006 (see Article 2.4). The arrangement of the traffic systems per traffic sections on the whole CFR network is set out on the map in Annex 2.c. Traffic Control Systems The traffic control is performed with the help of the switch control installations that ensure the switch operation according to the necessary train traffic route. Most of the railway stations are equipped with interlocking systems, but there are also stations which are situated on low-traffic sections, and are equipped with key-operated switch and signal control systems. Their classification is the following:  77 electronic interlocking systems  15 electromechanical interlocking systems with computer-assisted control station  559 electrodynamic interlocking systems  39 electromechanical interlocking systems  145 interlocking installations  151 non-interlocking installations The stations and the relevant type of interlocking systems are set out on the map in Annex 2.c. 2026 CFR Network Statement Version: 15.1.6 Section: Infrastructure A Page Date: 29.05.2026 32 of 98  Compania Nationala de Cai Ferate “CFR” S.A. Romania Communication Systems The radio communication system is used for the ground-train communications (between the traffic manager and the train driver) with regard to the traffic safety and the shunting activity. The CFR radio communication system is dedicated to the Romanian railway infrastructure. This radio communication system works on the basis of the Emergency Ordinance No. 79/2002 regarding the general regulatory framework for communications approved with amendments and supplements by means of Law No. 591/2002, as further amended and supplemented. Articles 22 to 31, Article 55(1)(g) and (2) of the Emergency Ordinance No. 79/2002 were abrogated by means of Law No. 154/2012 on the regime of the infrastructure of the electronic communications networks. Based on the above-mentioned legislation, CNCF “CFR” SA received the licence MT-PMR 0145/2006 which grants it the right to use radio frequencies for the provision of electronic communications networks for private use in the terrestrial mobile service. The licence was obtained for the use of frequencies in accordance with the following technical and operational conditions: Network coverage: national Communications type: voice Operation mode: simplex Frequency channel: 12.5KHz/25KHz Frequency band: 146 000 – 146 800 MHz The common frequencies are the following: 146 200 MHz and 146 225 MHz - for traffic 146 125MHz; 146 150MHz; 146 175MHz; 146 250MHz; 146 375MHz as well as other frequencies from the frequency band (146 000 – 146 800) MHz - for shunting; In order to have access to the CFR railway infrastructure, any RU shall ask CFR to approve the use of some frequencies specific to the railway radio communication system according to the activities to be carried out. Every RU will also attach to the request for frequency the technical sheets of the radio transmission devices to be used. The technical characteristics of the radio transmission devices shall comply with the requirements of ANCOM (The National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications) included in Annex 10. The RU may lease, against payment, radio transmission devices from SC “Telecomunicatii Feroviare“ SA, CFR’s specialised subsidiary, within the limits of the available stock. CFR grants to each railway undertaking, within the access package included in the IAC, the right to use the traffic frequencies as well as some shunting frequencies – specific to each RU, according to the frequency allocation authorizations, dedicated to each CFR radio communication network.
