For clickable index, please expand description! Scenes from a 10-day winter journey through Romania mostly in beautiful cold weather with some snow. I travelled there on sleeper train "Ister" and back on "Corona". The first two days I captured scheduled CFR class 60 (Sulzer) and 65 (EMD) diesel locomotives around Sibiu and Cluj as well as partly second-hand DMUs (ex German DB class 614 and Dutch NS class DH2 "Wadloper"). The main week of the trip was spent on a Tanago photo steam charter tour on the narrow gauge logging railways of well-known Vaser Valley ( Valea Vaserului / Wassertal ) and Moldovita. In total six locomotives were under steam, one day we took pictures riding a diesel railcar. Vaser Valley Mocanita is the last timber line still in operation featuring long diesel production trains hauled by Faur L45H class 87 locomotives, draisines converted from vans plus other interesting vintage and current forestry scenes. -------- Feb 12-13 ------------------------------------------------------------ 0:14 Sibiu, Podu Olt - class 60 / 65 night trains, locals 6:04 Cluj, Gârbau, Macau - class 65 express, 60 freight, DMUs -------- Feb 15-16 - 764-435 "Bavaria" ----------------------------------- 11:48 riding up Vaser Valley 20:10 campfire, cutting / transporting timber with horses 24:30 riding down Vaser Valley, production trains -------- Feb 17 - 764-408R "Cozia-1" ------------------------------------- 30:18 3rd Vaser Valley photo charter day -------- Feb 18 - 764-431 "Bucovina" & 764-404R "Hutulca" --------- 37:40 Moldovita passenger & freight -------- Feb 19 - railcar 003 ------------------------------------------------ 49:08 4th Vaser Valley photo charter day -------- Feb 20 - 764-211 "Mariuta" & 764-449 "Ioana" --------------- 57:08 5th Vaser Valley photo charter day -------- Feb 21-22 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1:08:23 diesel Sighetu Marmatiei - Beclean pe Somes, night train 1:11:00 scenes at Budapest-Keleti terminal
