The CFF Viseu de Sus (Mocanita Viseu de Sus) 87-0032-0 seen at Novicior
The tourist trains usually hauled by steam locomotives only go about halfway up the valley of the Vaser, but the mixed train of the logging company serves almost all the little logging camps up the mountains. This time we did not go all the way but still discovered a lot of new places along the route. The train brings supplies, loggers and empty trucks for loading at the various camps and also helps moving of equipment between camps. On the way down if there are loaded trucks it will pick them up andon Fridays many of the loggers will join the train down back to Viseu to join their families. You can see the end of the train, now reduced in length after setting out about one-third of the trucks at Novicior. The man in orange hi-vis is the tail-end brakeman, additional brakemen will get on the train as we continue our journey. They are riding on the narrow platform at some of the trucks, obviously there is no comfortable caboose provided.
