140.117 is part of a 65 locomotives series built by Baldwin Lcomotive Works, between 1918 and 1920. The most part of the series where allocated to Buchaarst-Triaj, Ploiesti, Campina, Fetesti and Constanta depots. The last loco of the series (140.105) was still in use in 1975. 140.117 is the only locomotive of this type still in working condition in the whole world. It's also the only loco of 140.100 series that can be found in Romania. The loco is now preserved in Sibiu depot and it's used for tourist trains.
