Summary

[edit]
Description

Bit of a schoolboy error lead me to make an unplanned visit to Corabia on 15 September 2021. Two trains were booked to leave from platform 1 at Corabia around the same time to head off in opposite directions. The trains weren't plated up and no electronic departure boards at the station either. Fortunately the line was needed and I managed to replan the rest of the days travels without any loss of new track. I just ended up arriving at my destination for the night 3 hours late causing a bit of a issue with my pre-booked accommodation.

These 4-wheel railcars built from 1935 onwards are still in service in Romania. Hard plastic seats and extremely rough riding along with poor ventilation. Tough travel conditions for over three hours on a hot afternoon in mid September.

Seen here is 770953 ready to form train R9064, 15:30 Corabia to Piatra Olt. At the time of visiting, the branch saw two passenger workings a day - this and an early morning one from Caracal returning back soon after arrival. The branch sees freight traffic though despite next to the river Danube isn't one that sees goods transported via one of several rail connected ports.
