After the first half of the snowy Transylvanian narrow-gauge raiéway album, here is the second half. This one is mostly of the Moldovita Forestry Railway and partly of the standard-gauge railways in and around Bucovina. The first section of the railway was built between Moldoviţa and Roşoşa, of a ditance of 24 km, of a gauge of 800 mm, by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. It had soon been changed to the uniform 760 mm (76 cm) gauge. The greatest length of network, 73 km, was reached in 1987.

In 2001 both the narrow-gauge and the standard-gauge railway stopped becuase of flooding. The standard-gauge Moldovita - Campulung Moldovesnec railway hasn't restarted ever since, but, with the help of Georg Hocevar, the narrow-gauge is still working. Luckily I could photograph the Malaxa railcar on the CFR branch line

Originally the narrow-gauge railway departed from further away, it was only lengthened to the old railway stationn recently where they simply covered the old tracks with the new, narrower ones.

In Eastern Europe all pass roads are full with little kiosks selling local produce and hand crafted ware that many believe to be of inferior quality. Some of them really are; but each place you can find the cheesem the honey, the meat that is a real wonder and a unique experience to taste and will make you definitely buy some. The end station of the Moldovita narrow-gauge railway also has such an area even though the trains run quite few days a year. It would be really nice to have something like this at least at some Hungarian forestry railways, but even the most popular one s lack all services at their far-end termini.

Something this simple could make our day.

One of my favourite photo locations is in the Mures gorge. The cleanness of the track and the length of the regional trains have both changed to their worse since my last visit:
