Intelligent transport

Climate change and pandemic challenges require new approaches to limit the effects on the environment and climate, but also to revive the economic growth.

Both goals can be met by the rail transport. We all became aware in the last year that mobility is important to go to work, to school, to travel on vacation, to reunite with family and friends etc. Therefore, increasing the mobility of people and goods exchange is a viable opportunity to boost the economy, education and to facilitate the connection between people, communities, families, regions of the country and Europe.

Ensuring rail mobility provides alternatives to current and future difficulties, and to limit CO2 emissions, train journey must become a commonplace because it is the greenest means of transport.

You can find out the impact on the environment, produced by using different means of transport for trips to Europe, by accessing the program ECOPASSENGER
(http://ecopassenger.org/bin/query.exe/en?L=vs_uic).

The application is developed by the International Union of Railways and allows the comparison of air, car and rail journey routes, by calculating the energy consumption, CO2 emissions and other pollutants (nitrogen oxide emissions, particulate emissions, hydrocarbon emissions), for each selected route. Any route of interest can be entered and the application will highlight the emissions by modes of transport.

We can all contribute to the fight against climate change and economic growth. Get on the train! The future is the railway.

  • 1965 – 1966 – The electric traction was put into operation on Braşov – Predeal section. On April 20, 1966, Predeal – Câmpina section was put into operation, and on February 16, 1969 the entire electrified main line Braşov – Bucureşti (170 km) was officially inaugurated. For the electric traction, 10 Co-Co locomotives of 5100 kW were delivered by the Swedish company ASEA. In December 1965, the first inaugural train on Predeal – Brașov section was hauled by the first electric locomotive EA 001.

Transportul inteligent

Schimbările climatice și provocările în contextul pandemic necesită noi abordări pentru a limita efectele asupra mediului și asupra climei, dar și de a revitaliza creșterea economică.

Prin transportul feroviar pot fi îndeplinite ambele deziderate. Cu toții am devenit conștienți în ultimul an că mobilitatea este importantă pentru a merge la muncă, la școală, a călători în vacanțe, a ne reîntâlni cu familia și prietenii etc. De aceea creșterea mobilităţii persoanelor şi a schimburilor de marfuri reprezintă o şansă viabilă pentru stimularea economiei, a educației și de a înlesni conexiunea între oameni, comunități, familii, regiunile țării și cu Europa.

Asigurarea mobilității pe calea ferată oferă alternative în faţa dificultăţilor actuale și viitoare, iar pentru a limita emisiile de CO2, călătoria cu trenul trebuie să devină un lucru obișnuit pentru că reprezintă cel mai ecologic mijloc de transport.

Puteți afla impactul asupra mediului, produs prin utilizarea diferitelor mijloace de transport pentru călătoriile în Europa, accesând programul ECOPASSENGER (http://ecopassenger.org/bin/query.exe/en?L=vs_uic).

Aplicația este realizată de Uniunea Internaţională a Căilor Ferate și permite compararea rutelor de călătorie aeriană, auto şi feroviară, prin calcularea consumului de energie, emisiilor de CO2 şi a altor poluanţi (emisii de oxizi de azot, emisii de particule, emisii de hidrocarburi), pentru fiecare rută selectată. Poate fi introdusă orice rută de interes și aplicația va evidenția emisiile pe moduri de transport.

Toți putem contribui la combaterea schimbărilor climatice și la creșterea economică. Urcă-te în tren! Viitorul este calea ferată.

Rail transport connects Europe

The railway offers Europe a truly connected future. Cooperation between railway companies already leads to a uniform network in which key areas align their programming processes, overcome language barriers, simplify the rules and technical requirements of the European Union for trains to run across borders.

In this way a new infrastructure capacity is created, in particular for the connection of industrial parks to the main freight network, as well as the completion of the European network linking capitals and big cities. Such rail connections between countries contributes to the creation of a European identity and to the shaping of common values. At the local level the railways provide transport and mobility services, offering passengers more options.

The Connecting Europe Express train is a unique project involving the European Commission, the European Railway Community and Infrastructure Companies (ERC), European railway operators, infrastructure managers and many other partners at Community and local level. Conceived by the European Commission as part of the European Year of Railways and with the help of unprecedented collaboration between railway companies, the Connecting Europe Express train will cross the continent this autumn – over 40 cities in 26 countries in 36 days. The train will demonstrate the power of the railway to connect people and companies, but also the importance of EU infrastructure policy that makes this possible.

Steam locomotives museum in Dej

Steam locomotives in Dej was founded at the initiative of some passionate railway workers in 1992. It is the only museum of its kind in Transilvania. You can admire over 20 steam and electric locomotives, but also railway coaches that made history in Romania.

The oldest exhibits, a steam locomotive and an electric locomotive, dating from 1908.

The steam locomotive 40.007 was manufactured by Wiener Lokomotivfabriks AG, Floridsdorf (Austria) and ran on the route Subcetate – Haţeg – Bouţari – Caransebeş, during 1908 – 1978.

In the museum you can also see the most powerful steam locomotive manufactured in Romania (151 002), the steam locomotive number 1000 manufactured in Reșița and many others.

In the museum there is a museum coach with objects specific to the depot activity.

The museum is organized in open-air, the entry is free and most of the exhibits can be seen from above, from a walkway crossing the depot Dej-Triaj.

Did you know?

The steam locomotive 151002 is part of a series of only two units manufactured by Malaxa Plants in 1939 and 1941. These were the most powerful steam locomotives manufactured in Romania, being able to tow over 3000 tons.

The steam locomotive 151001 was captured by the URSS in 1945, exploding a few years later in Kharkiv, but the steam locomotive 151002 ran until 1971.

The “Ceferiada” Event

82 years ago, the Romanian Railways (CFR) organized a great event in order to celebrate 70 years from the inauguration of the first state-built railway line, namely the Bucharest – Giurgiu line. This event was called “Ceferiada” and was intended to last for 3 days but, due to public demand, it actually lasted for two weeks.

“Ceferiada” began on the 10th of June 1939, in the presence of King Carol II, Voivode Michael and Pince Paul of Greece. The event took place on the CFR stadium in the Giuleşti district and was attended by over 25,000 spectators.

The railways were defined as the economic engine in the first part of Romania’s modernization, the „Ceferiada” highlighting the railmen’s constribution to raising the sentiment of national pride.

Did you know?

In 1869, the shortest road to Vienna was from Bucharest to Giurgiu by train, then by boat on the Danube up to Vienna.
The construction of the railway line was finished on the 26th of August 1869, King Carol I departing on board a train to Giurgiu, then travelling by boat to Germany.
The Bucharest – Filarest – Griugiu railway line, with a length of 67 kilometres, was an isolated line, connecting the Capital with the Danube, while being also a direct connection with the Orient and the West.
It is the 10th railway line built on Romanian territory and was open to railway traffic at the end of October 1869, when it was officially inaugurated.
At that time, two festive trains departed 15 minutes apart the Filaret station, the oldest railway station of the Capital. The first train was driven by the constructor itself, John Trevor Barkley, while the second was driven by the first Romanian train driver – Nicolea Tănase.
