Then, two festive trains left Filaret Station &#8211; the oldest station in the Capital, at an interval of 15 minutes. The first train was driven by the builder John Trevor Barkley himself, and the second by the first Romanian locomotive mechanic &#8211; Nicolae T\u0103nase. Because the route of the line passed near C\u0103lug\u0103reni, where in 1595 the ruler Mihai Viteazul had achieved a success against the Ottomans, the first locomotive was named &#8220;Michaiu Bravul&#8221; in his honor.
