The JŽ series 461 is a six-axle electric locomotive built for Yugoslav Railways in Romania. Today there are known as ŽS series 461 in Serbia, ŽCG series 461 in Montenegro and MŽ series 461 with Macedonian railways.

History

This series is originally based on a license of the Swedish company ASEA for locomotives similar to the Norwegian El 15. The 103 electric locomotives have been produced by Electroputere from Craiova in two subseries for Yugoslav Railway. First subseries, JŽ 461-0 consisted from 45 locomotives build from 1971 to 1973. Second subseries, JŽ 461-1 was built from 1978 until 1980 and it consisted from 58 locomotives. Romania delivered to Yugoslavia a number of 103 Co'Co locomotives of the 461 JŽ series.

Most Serbian locomotives were passed to the cargo division in 2015, with 5 units retained for passenger trains on the Belgrade-Bar line. Railway transport of Montenegro operates 10 and Montecargo 8 locomotives of class 461, being only electric locomotive operated in Montenegro. This series is mainly used on Belgrade–Bar railway by both Serbian and Montenegrin railways. Six locomotives of 461 series are operated by Macedonian Railways, with two of them modernised and thyristorized to series 462.
