The romanian train drivers have to use the whistle at every railway crossing and at every bridge longer than 20 meters. So they have to use the horn quite often. Greetings from romanian CFR train engineer

@steve-marsh Год назад

@Manawatu_Al2844 Год назад

What's the deal behind that rational? Safety?

@wave_o Год назад

@@Manawatu_Al2844 Pretty much, yeah. A lot of rail crossings in Romania have no barriers to speak of and quite a few don't even have a bell/light indicator for incoming trains.

@BogdanDuceac Год назад

yes it is meant for safety but if you look on the window u see that there was bad fog, and they will use the horn for extra time... to make sure every car it is hearing them

@@iuliandragomir1 In Japan we don't do this at every station at all. Sometimes yes, but it is not required unless there is a special reason for it (what is quite often I have to admit but not all the time)

Romania is a heaven for train enjoyers cus of it's old school rails with joints that make the famous clicking sound, still being able to find cars with fully lowerable windows and the gorgeous mountain passes with incredible scenery. Trains in other places are fast, silent and comfortable but incredibly boring. Very nice videos man, hope you enjoyed your stay here.

@emilynewman7779 11 месяцев назад

I just took this train last night. I was sharing with a nice Romanian lady. The police checks on the Hungarian and Romanian side were quite intimidating. I managed to get a good sleep though using my earplugs to block out the noise of the horn and all the rattles in the room. Around 10.30am the engine broke down and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere for 2 hours. Some locals got off and walked through the grass.. those of us on the train managed to see the funny side of it all. I enjoyed the journey overall 🇷🇴

@aandrei99 Год назад

Ok the 9:30 one was excessive haha, but on a more serious note, there is a requirement for the train drivers in Romania to honk whenever they pass by a station in which they don't stop, just to assure the person in charge there that they are awake and well.

@pemarero Год назад

Welcome to my country! They use the horn because of the fog and crossings espeacilly on the countrytside. In Brasov they change the locomotive because they were using diesel ones before, and they change it to electric.

@SirPrancelot1 Год назад

Good information!

@steve-marsh Год назад

@simonpilk Год назад

Yes that train EN473 is Hungarian electric to Curtici, CFR electric locomotive to Simeria, CFR diesel Simeria - Brasov and finally electric locomotive from Brasov to Bucharest Gara Nord. It was a foggy morning yes on the diesel section. I have to admit I also had the window open but slept much better than Steve!

@catalinmuresan3230 Год назад

@@simonpilk This a temporary situation because of the construction works going on on Paneuropean Corridor IV. From Simeria the "normal" route would be via Alba Iulia-Blaj-Mediaș-Sighișoara-Brașov, but because Sighișoara-Brașov is all dug up, the train runs after Vințu via Sibiu-Făgăraș, a secondary unelectrified route.

@simonpilk Год назад

@@catalinmuresan3230 the route via Sibiu is interesting as of course the train is hauled by a CFR 64 GM locomotive and then the change back to electric at Brasov. I visited Romania for the first time in March 23 and it was very interesting, the railways are very ‘real’ as we say in UK. I enjoyed it and your food is often wonderful!

This is one of my favourite train journeys. I've gone from Paris to Bucharest and back several times, and once from Bucharest to Istanbul last September; I definitely want to do the Bucharest-Chisinau route some day. Taking the Vienna-Budapest-Bucharest section several times over the past ten years or so, I've seen how rural Romania is changing. More cars, fewer goats and donkeys, new houses being built and old ones left to fall down. Better for the residents of course, but it's sad to see traditional rural life disappearing.

Yeh its a great ride, I did this when I first moved to Romania in 2016; London to Paris, to Munich to Budapest. Was winter and Keleti was freezing but there is a little first class lounge that is fairly spartan but it was warm and comfy. Back then the Ister had a food car attached and you could get dinner and breakfast in the morning. Great ride through the Bucegi Mountains and it was snowing and had coffee with the conductor in his cabin after he invited me in. It is a pity its at night but from the early morning you catch the most beautiful part of the whole ride which is going up from Brasov into the mountains and down. Nice 👍👍

absolutely. Transsylvania, with the cities of Brasov, Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca, is one of the most touristy area of Romania, and you can see why, with as much visitors as Bucharest itself (which is a wild city indeed) and to a lesser extent the Black Sea resorts near Constanta. Those cities I mentioned are also very nice to visit, with lots of monuments and history in them.

These carriages are often locked for your own safety - the railway company definitely doesn't want your stuff to get stolen.

There's no need for a toilet tour unless it's something special, eg maybe if it were Japanese there would probably be points of interest, but any train toilet with a sink and a toilet is just that, and doesn't need filming, whether it is spotlessly clean, pebble-dashed, or 'bog-standard' Never is it is worthy of content on youtube.

A great watch fella, really enjoyed that, always look here on YT for train journeys of various natures, always fancied taking a journey on one of those old trains that you sit right at the back and see the track, like the old western films. Just getting a catch up on yur uploads but massive Thanks again. Cheers.
