Mocanita steam train in Bukovina in the Carpathian mountains in Romania #284536465
Description
A Mocanita is a narrow-gauge railway in Romania, most notably in Maramures, Transylvania, and Bukovina. Archetypically, they are situated in mountainous areas and the locomotives operating on them are steam-powered. These railways were built for cargo and passenger services â some in the era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, before 1918 â but fell into disrepair over the years. Some are now being rehabilitated for the purposes of tourism.
