Vajdahunyad has died

2009.07.14 (Fodor Illés)



The beautiful Hunedoara-Ghelari (Vajdahunyad-Gyalár) narrow gauge railway is abandoned in Romania. The former 15,3 km long railway had operated just on a 3 km since 1990. They started to remove the track on 06.07.2009. The viaducts are sad to be abandoned soon.

The railway transported limestone on the last few decades. They had four L45H locomotives (069, 070, 072, 084). The line crossed a mountain area crossing on viaducts and in tunnels.
