The Last Ride -- In fact, it was already a forced situation that the 1000-series Malaxas survived the turn of the millennium and were still in daily operation even after their eightieth year. Since their retirement wasn't planned due to a shortage of vehicles, it’s no surprise that the story ended tragically. On the early morning of September 1, 2023, the pair of 1008/1009 caught fire near the outskirts of Oradea. The passengers escaped unharmed, but the motorcar could not be saved. After a few days of waiting at station Oradea Vest, a Sulzer locomotive hauled them back to the Arad depot, where an investigation will take place. -- Sântana (ro), 4 September 2023, 15:29 EET
