Grivița Railway Workshops

Grivița, a district in Bucharest, has witnessed significant transformation over the years, with its roots deeply entwined in the history of the Romanian railway industry. The area, as we know it today, developed around the CFR Workshops (Atelierele CFR Grivița), which were established in 1897. These workshops played a crucial role in the repair and maintenance of steam locomotives and passenger carriages, thus becoming a vital part of Romania’s industrial backbone.
