Into the fog : the “Echipaj Medical de Urgență” ambulance did an emergency stop and had to wait for the local train R4652 to pass. Maybe the ambulance was on its way to help with a car accident further down the road, given the thick fog in the valley that morning. Fortunately, the sun was already starting to disperse that fog.

During the second week of our trips în România, we were staying at a motel in a relatively remote place in Northern Transilvania, near the town of Leordina. Despite its remoteness it's a popular spot for railfans, thanks to beautiful landscapes and a fair share of the old type 60 locomotives with passenger trains.
It just so happened that our motel was 50 meters from the railway line, so that we could effortlessly photograph every single train. Here it was the regio R4652 from Sighetu Marmației to Vișeu de Jos. It is seen chugging along, just after departing from the passenger stop in Leordina, headed by 60-1356.

Few minutes after the morning fogs had disappeared, beautifully decorated 'Sulzer' 62 1095 with only one carriage left Leordina as local passenger train № 4652 (Sighetu Marmației - Vișeu de Jos). Probably there are last two months of those locomotives at this wonderful line...

60 1356 mit dem R 4652 (Sighetu-Viseu) bei Leordina.
Leider ist damit zu rechnen, daß die ollen Kutter auf der Linie nach Sighetu alsbald durch Desiros abgelöst werden, da man den eigenen Brücken nicht mehr traut... :)

Going to Romania, I hoped to see some old trucks/lorries, especially ROMAN trucks. To my surprise, such oldies were really hard to find and so I cherished each one, which I managed to photograph.
Upon arriving in Leordina for the second week of our stay, we were really surprised, as suddenly we were surrounded by old trucks. What was especially interesting is that almost all of them were Tatra 148 trucks, a relatively old series. They were made in the years 1972–1982 in the Tatra works in Kopřivnice in many versions. They are the predecessor of the Tatra 815, using a simmilar suspension for offroading.
This Tatra 148 S3 Turbo, which we managed to see was delivering gravel from a nearby mine, located on the outskirts of Vișeu de Jos. S3 here stands for a three way dumper. Cheers to the friendly driver! :)

DE: Zug R 11402 erreicht den Haltepunkt Leordina.
Am frühen Morgen des 30.08.2019 beschleunigt die 60-1356 mit dem R4560 nach Viseu de Jos aus dem Bahnhof Leordina heraus. Der Blick führt dabei entlang der schönen und krummen Telegrafenmasten auf das Einfahrsignal, beide Ausfahrsignale des Bahnhofs und den wartenden Holzzug, welcher an diesem Tag auch verkehrt.
In the early morning of 08/30/2019, the 60-1356 with the R4560 accelerates out of Leordina station to Viseu de Jos. The view leads along the beautiful and crooked telegraph poles to the entry signal, both exit signals of the station and the waiting wooden train, which also runs on this day.
Nachdem am Mittag des 30.08.2019 bereits etliche Wagen Holz von Leordina nach Dealu Stefanitei gefahren wurden, wurde am Nachmittag der zweite Teil des Zuges in Sacel abgeholt. Diese Wagen werden ebenfalls zunächst nach Dealu Stefanitei gebracht, das Foto zeigt die Fahrt kurz nach Sacel. Nach der Vereinigung der beiden Zugteile geht es dann weiter Richtung Süden.
Die rumänische Dieselstrecke von Sighetu Marmatiei nach Slava biete eine wunderschöne Landschaft, aber leider wenig Zugverkehr. Vereinzelt findet aber Holzverkehr statt, so war es auch am 30.08.2019. 60-1259 hat einige beladene Wagen in Leordina abgeholt und bringt sie nun nach Dealu-Stefanitei, danach holt sie weitere Wagen in Sacel, ehe es dann vereinigt weiter Richtung Salva geht. Das Bild zeigt den Zug zwischen Iza und Sacel.
Abseits der Hauptstrecken findet man in Rumänien nur noch wenig Güterverkehr. So auch im Norden an der Grenze zur Ukraine. Meist einmal wöchentlich fährt ein Holzzug von Leordina aus nach Süden. Wir waren bereits eine Woche zuvor in der Gegend, doch leider ist der Zug ausgefallen. Dank der Info eines Fotokollegen konnten wir dann kurz vor Ende unseres Urlaubs den begehrten Güterzug aufnehmen. Hier fährt 60-1259 von CFR MARFA mit dem ersten Teil von Leordina nach Dealu-Stefanitei in den Bahnhof Sacel ein. Sacel bot dabei am 30.08.2019 eine tolle Umgebung für den Zug. In Sacel musste danach noch ein zweiter Teil abgeholt werden. Die Strapazen hatten sich gelohnt, denn wir waren eigentlich in einer anderen Ecke Rumäniens und sind extra wegen des Holzzuges nochmals ganz in den Norden gefahren.
Off the main routes, there is little freight traffic in Romania. So also in the north on the border with Ukraine. Usually once a week a wooden train departs from Leordina to the south. We were already in the area a week earlier, but unfortunately the train has failed. Thanks to the information of a photographer, we were able to pick up the coveted freight train shortly before the end of our vacation. Here comes CFR MARFA's 60-1259 with the first part from Leordina to Dealu-Stefanitei at the Sacel station. Sacel offered on 30.08.2019 a great environment for the train. After that a second part had to be picked up in Sacel. The hardships had paid off, because we were actually in another corner of Romania and have driven extra because of the wooden train again all the way to the north.
