Full array

The countless semaphores at Vișeu de Jos greeted every train arriving at the station. Well...not anymore, with the recent planned (or already introduced?) suspension of services between Salva and Sighetu Marmației.

 

R 4116 from Sighetu Marmației to Beclean (-Cluj Napoca) was the first train we saw during our stay in Northern Transilvania, and it was headed by the 60-1115 in a heritage-style livery. We managed to snap a picture of it, as it was leaving Vișeu southbound, with the full array of semaphores in the background.

 

I got the idea for publishing this picture after seeing the one Thorge Bockholt had published, which shows the station in an almost unchanged state, 21 years before (*his picture is taken on the other side of the station).
