The CFR Class 47 is a class of electric locomotives built for Romanian railway operators for use on the Romanian electrified network. They were originally built by Electroputere from 1965 to 1991 and designated as the CFR class 40 or 41. All Class 47 locomotives were modernized by Softronic from 2007. They are operated both by CFR Marfă and CFR Călători.
