The CFI Govora / Ciech Soda Romania 087 0052-3 seen at Tomsani station

The Bistrita-Govora railway has a complicated history, as it had been a forestry railway and has had different terminuses over time. Currently the track is 44 km long with larger stations like Tomsani and small, two-track passing loops. The trains operated 24 h a day with usually 3 consists out on the network with a full turn being 5 hours long including loading and unloading. There used to be a normal set of railwaymen at the stations but in the last days the train crew could set the switches and use radio coordination to find the best passing opportunities.
