Beautiful Romania - Vistit Bistrita , Transylvania
#travelromania #transylvania #travelvlog
Bistrița is the capital city of Bistrița-Năsăud County, in northern Transylvania, Romania. It is situated on the Bistrița River. The city has a population of approximately 70,000 inhabitants and administers six villages: Ghinda , Sărata , Sigmir , Slătinița , Unirea and Viișoara.
The earliest sign of settlement in the area of Bistrița is in Neolithic remains. The Turkic Pechenegs settled the area in 12th century following attacks of the Cumans. Transylvanian Saxons settled the area in 1206 and called the region Nösnerland. A large part of settlers were fugitives, convicts and poor people looking for lands and opportunities. The destruction of Markt Nosa under the Mongols of central Europe is described in a document from 1241. Situated on several trade routes, Bistrița became a flourishing medieval trading post.

Bistrița became a free royal town in 1330. In 1353, King Louis I of Hungary granted the town the right to organize an annual 15-day fair on Saint Bartholomew day, as well as a seal containing the coat of arms of an ostrich with a horseshoe in its beak. The town developed markets throughout Moldavia, and its craftsmen travelled extensively. It was given the right to be surrounded by defensive walls in 1409. In 1465, the city's fortifications had 18 defensive towers and bastions defended by the local guilds. It was also defended by a Kirchenburg, or fortified church. In 1713 the Romanian population was expelled by the Saxon magistrates, but they returned later. The town was badly damaged by fire five times between 1836 and 1850. The church suffered from fire in 1857, when the tower's roof and the bells were destroyed. The roof was rebuilt after several years. Fires in the nineteenth century also destroyed much of the city's medieval citadel.
On June 11, 2008, the tower and roof of the church caught fire when three children who went to steal copper set it on fire while playing. The main part of the church suffered just a little damage and is not in much danger, the interior being intact. It is speculated that both bells residing in the tower (one dating from the 15th century, the other from the 17th) might have melted. source
M701: Ploiesti Sud - Urziceni - Slobozia Veche
26 august 2011 = Excursie FeRoviaRă Ploiești Sud - Urziceni - Slobozia Veche
Venind din deal de la Mina de Sare de la Slănic către Gara Ploiești Sud, m-am oprit la Revizie pentru a discuta ultimele concluzii cu privire la practica TRIPOD din vara lui 2011 efectuată la Revizia de Vagoane Ploiești Sud, alături de d-nul instructor Alexandru Gheorghe.
Ca o ultimă temă și o temă de studiu individual a fost recunoașterea secției sau, mai puțin pretențios spus, plimbarea și recunoașterea liniilor pe care circulă trenuri pregătite de Revizia Ploiești Sud. S-a întâmplat ca Trenul Personal 8131 să fie compus tot cuplul etajat TE80 și locomotiva diesel-hidraulică de 1250 cai putere modernizată de Remarul 16 Februarie Cluj-Napoca cu seria 82-0370-5.
Așadar, am pornit la drum pe o linie care se întinde de la Est la Vest, unind întru unitate complexul petrolier Ploiești, Urziceni, Slobozia și Țândărei. Această cale ferată specifică zonei de câmpie, deci cu rezistente specifice mici (5 kg/t), declivități la fel de mici (5 la mie) și raze largi de curbură - 600 metri. Cei 117 kilometri i-am parcurs în aproape 3 ore, reieșind o viteză comercială de 42 km/h.
Traseul căii ferate urmărește salba de așezări de-a lungul cursului meandrat ale râurilor Teleajen și Ialomița, iar dintre acestea amintesc de Corlățești, Zănoaga, Drăgănești Prahova, Ciorani, Fulga, Ialomița, Armășești, Alexeni, Broșteni, Sărățica, Căzănești sau Andrășești. De asemenea, linia este mărginită de lacul Fundata de lângă Slobozia.
Și dacă despre geografie am amintit, spunem și despre istoricul acestei căi ferate. Apariția acesteia pe traseul Ploiești - Urziceni - Slobozia - Țândărei - Fetești a avut ca principal motiv realizarea unui traseu paralel cu linia suprasolicitată București - Fetești. Dat fiind volumul imens de petrol, cereale și lemn care erau transportate către Portul Constanța, între 1906 și 1910 se construiește linia Ploiești - Urziceni - Slobozia Veche (117 km), data inaugurală fiind 14 aprilie 1910.
Un aspect foarte interesant întâlnit îl reprezintă clădirile stațiilor întâlnite, iar aici nominalizez: Corlățești, Drăgănești Prahova, Ciorani, Ialomița, Armășești, Urziceni, Broșteni, Sărățuica, Căzănești și Andrășești. Fiecare dintre gările amintite au fost construite după un tipar asemănător, iar ca element comun și definitoriu - cărămida roșie de Ciurea.
Imaginile pe care vi le prezint în continuare descriu în detaliu și concludent specificul submagistralei neelectrifată și parțial dublată, 701, Ploiești Sud - Urziceni - Slobozia Veche - Țândărei. Vă mulțumesc pentru atenție!

M701&M702: Slobozia Veche - Tandarei - Fetesti
26 august 2011 = Excursie FeRoviaRă Slobozia Veche - Ţândărei - Feteşti
M701&M702: Slobozia Veche - Tandarei - Fetesti
După o vizită de 3 ore în municipiul Slobozia, unde am parcurs în lung și în lat așezarea de pe râul Ialomița, mi-am îndreptat pașii către gară. Aici aveam de gând să parcurg cu Trenul Personal 8577, Slobozia Veche -- Fetești, un număr de 59 de kilometri și parcurgând liniile secundare 701 și 702 din Câmpia Română.
Așadar, locomotiva diesel-hidraulică de clasă 89 alături de cele două vagoane 20-54 au compus trenul care avea să transporte călători către Bucu, Țândărei, Movila și Fetești. Condițiile de confort au fost excepționale, mai ales dacă ne gândim că un vagon 20-54 oferă 6 locuri în compartiment. Pe de altă parte, viteza comercială a acestui tren este de 47 km/h. Timpii de mers ar fi putut rezulta mai buni dacă s-ar fi eliminat restricțiile de 5 km/h de la cele câteva treceri la nivel nesemnalizate. După ce trenul ajunge în stația Țândărei, acesta parcurge 31 de kilometri în 37 de minute, rezultând o viteză medie de 50 km/h, spre deosebire de porțiunea Slobozia Veche - Țândărei de 28 de kilometri, parcursă în 39 de minute -- viteză medie de 43 km/h.
Trecând peste aceste date statistice, din imaginile clipului se observă relieful de câmpie, liniile plane și dealurile de mici dimensiuni caracteristice liniei Slobozia - Țândărei. Chiar și așa, de la Țândărei către Fetești, calea ferată întâlnește un pod de dimensiuni notabile peste râul Ialomița, putându-se observa câteva zone specifice de deal, dar cu altitudini ce nu depășesc 50-60 de metri...
Gările Bucu și Ograda dovedesc apartenența lor la linia arhitecturală a gărilor de pe linia 701, pe când gările Țândărei, Platonești și Movila fac parte din curentul magistralei... electrificate 702, Făurei - Țândărei -- Fetești. Chiar și așa, călătorii coborau și se urcau fiecare câte 10-15 din fiecare stație, alegând să circule cu acest mijloc de transport rapid, sigur și econom.
Sosirea în Fetești amintește că bucla traseului propus pentru ziua de 26 august 2011 se apropia de sfârșit. Ultimul kilometru din cei 466 a fost parcurs la intrarea în Gara de Nord sub celebrul pod suspendat Basarab, iluminat corespunzător orei 23...

Sulzer Ltd. is a Swiss industrial engineering and manufacturing firm, founded by Salomon Sulzer-Bernet in 1775 and established as Sulzer Brothers Ltd. in 1834 in Winterthur, Switzerland.
Sulzer developed a series of rail traction engines in the 1930s and 1940s which were used extensively in diesel locomotives in the UK, Europe and South America. A small number were used in locomotives in Africa and Australia. The Sulzer LDA (prefixed by the number of cylinders, and with a suffix related to the cylinder bore) engine was widely used by British Rail. Many were built under licence by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow as six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder form. The twelve-cylinder engine was used in the British Rail Class 47 and several others. The 12LDA28 engine was a double bank engine having, in effect, two six-cylinder engines side by side, rather than a V-type as favoured by many other manufacturers. Sulzer V-type engines for rail use bore the type number LVA (with a 50-degree angle between the banks).

MAP OF BUCHAREST
Bucharest is the capital and largest city of Romania, as well as its cultural, industrial, and financial centre. It is located in the southeast of the country, on the banks of the Dâmbovița River, less than 60 km (37.3 mi) north of the Danube River and the Bulgarian border.
Bucharest was first mentioned in documents in 1459. The city became the capital of Romania in 1862 and is the centre of Romanian media, culture, and art. Its architecture is a mix of historical (mostly Eclectic, but also Neoclassical and Art Nouveau), interbellum (Bauhaus, Art Deco and Romanian Revival architecture), socialist era, and modern. In the period between the two World Wars, the city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nickname of 'Paris of the East' (Romanian: Parisul Estului) or 'Little Paris' (Romanian: Micul Paris). Although buildings and districts in the historic city centre were heavily damaged or destroyed by war, earthquakes, and even Nicolae Ceaușescu's program of systematization, many survived and have been renovated. In recent years, the city has been experiencing an economic and cultural boom. It is one of the fastest-growing high-tech cities in Europe, according to the Financial Times, CBRE, TechCrunch, and others. UiPath, a global startup founded in Bucharest, has reached over $35 billion in valuation. Bucharest hosts the largest high tech summit in Southeast Europe, Romania Blockchain Summit; the Summit was postponed during the pandemic and it is not clear when the next Summit is scheduled.
In 2016, the historical city centre was listed as 'endangered' by the World Monuments Watch.[22] In 2017, Bucharest was the European city with the highest growth of tourists who stay over night, according to the Mastercard Global Index of Urban Destinations. As for the past two consecutive years, 2018 and 2019, Bucharest ranked as the European destination with the highest potential for development according to the same study.
According to the 2011 census, 1,883,425 inhabitants live within the city limits. Adding the satellite towns around the urban area, the proposed metropolitan area of Bucharest would have a population of 2.27 million people. In 2020, the government used 2.5 million people as the basis for pandemic reports. Bucharest is the fourth largest city in the European Union by population within city limits, after Berlin, Madrid, and Rome, just ahead of Paris.
Economically, Bucharest is the most prosperous city in Romania and the richest capital and city in the region, surpassing Budapest a few years ago. By 2050, studies show Bucharest will emerge as Europe's richest city in terms of GDP per capita, followed by Luxembourg City and Groningen. A new report by Grosvenor revealed Bucharest will already be 3rd richest city in Europe by 2040.
The city has a number of large convention facilities, educational institutes, cultural venues, traditional 'shopping arcades' and recreational areas.
The city proper is administratively known as the 'Municipality of Bucharest' (Municipiul București), and has the same administrative level as that of a national county, being further subdivided into six sectors, each governed by a local mayor. #bucharest #bucarest #romania #mapschool #mapsolo #maps #mapas

Cu trenul de la MUNTE la MARE - Brasov Constanta - Tomis Expres
Am calatorit cu trenul IR1884 Tomis Expres de la Brasov la Constanta via Bucuresti Nord cu tren direct. Si am fost impresionat. Conditiile sunt decente, pretul este acceptabil iar durata calatoriei de 4 ore si 14 minute este aproape imbatabila pe sosea.
Consider ca acest tren care opreste doar in Bucuresti este unul din cele mai bune ale CFR. Astfel o calatorie cu trenul de la munte la mare ajunge sa fie foarte rapida si poate fi folosita chiar si pentru o escapada de weekend la mare.

In 2010, approximately 58 million passengers have traveled with the company. 10 million travelers have preferred private equity firms in particular on the side lines.
CFR train types are:
Regio (R) -- the trains have assigned numbers from 2000 to 9999
InterRegio (IR) -- the trains have assigned numbers from 200 to 499, 600 to 999, 1000 to 1999 and 10000 to 14999
InterCity (IC) -- numbered from 500 to 599
EuroCity (EC) -- numbered as IC trains from 500 to 599
EuroNight (EN) -- numbered as IC trains from 500 to 599
Special (S) -- tourist trains operated on scenic routes with vintage rolling stock, numbered from S1 to S9
Aside from the seven main train types, CFR also operates night trains, which can be of any status (usually Rapid, InterCity or EuroNight). Freight trains, operated by CFR Marfă, have a different numbering system.
