The CFR 64 1264-2 seen between Valea Visului and Bocicoi
The railway between Campulung la Tisa and Valea Visului is double-gauge as the Soviet Union could not reach the Tatar-pass route from Transcarpathia otherwise. The railway was originally a MÁV mainline from Chop to Vorokhta over Khust, Sighet and Rakhiv where it connected to the Austrian State Railway's line over Stanislau (currently: Ivano Frankivsk, Ukraine) to Lemberg (Lviv, Ukraine). The broad-gauge line has been out of service for more than ten years and is impassable. The Ukrainian Railways (UZ) operates the railway from Chop to Solotvino and from Ivano Frankivsk to Rakhiv as stub-ended lines with significant passenger traffic.
