The article subject is the maintenance and repair system (MRO) of domestic locomotives in comparison with the European standards requirements in order to harmonize domestic MRO with international requirements. Russian Railways has created an integrated automated control system (ACS), including monitoring and reliability management systems for locomotives. Automated control systems for maintenance and repair of traction rolling stock are created on the service side of locomotive construction. TMH has developed automated control systems for maintenance and repair of traction rolling stock automated control systems for MRO. This system provides accounting for completed cyclic and super-cyclic work, consumed materials, completed installation and dismantling of equipment. An electronic passport of the locomotive has been created. Additionally, an automated control system for locomotive reliability has been created, in which the basic processes are incident and failure management, as well as problem management. The MRO TMX automated control system can be considered a unique development in terms of its functionality and scope. Work is underway to integrate the automated control systems of Russian Railways and automated control systems of service companies. At the same time, the European Union (EU) has been actively working over the past decades to harmonize national standards with interstate ones. A unified technical, economic and legal space is being created gradually. A series of standards has been developed for the management of railway transport, rolling stock and its maintenance. The standards summarize the accumulated experience and contain a number of provisions that could be useful for Russian railways, their traction rolling stock and maintenance organization. The EU standards analysis from the standpoint of improving the quality of domestic locomotives service has been carried out. The analysis showed that, in general, technological approaches in domestic transport comply with the requirements of European standards. But there are fundamental differences - the lack of a competitive environment and transparency of information. It is necessary to correct these shortcomings, which will significantly increase the intellectual potential of engineering. It is advisable to take the results obtained into account when organizing the domestic locomotives MRO.
