CFR 764 159 & 764 053 at Tîrgu Mureş Sud. Romania. 29/06/95.
0-8-0T no. 764 159 and 0-8-0 no. 764 053 clatter across the flat rail crossing at Tîrgu Mureş Sud where the 760mm gauge line north to Miheşu de Câmpie crosses the 1435mm standard gauge line that runs from Războieni to Deda west to east through the town.
The train is a charter organised by the LCGB (Locomotive Club of Great Britain) using the last two serviceable steam locomotives available at Tîrgu Mureş depot. Sadly this classic Eastern European narrow gauge line serving a scattered rural community was only to last one more year after this photo was taken and the entire network has since closed.
