The Olt reservoir at Lotru, Romania

CFR Călători 60-1375 with R2061 Craiova - Sibiu is crossing the damed Olt river on a modern bridge, prepared for double-tracking of the line. Nice plan, but as a new four lane highway is to be build through the valley (Thanks to money of EU and making demands of Renault and other car lobbyists) it won’t ever take place. Unfortunately, this valley is one of the few possibilities to cross the Carpathians. In former times highly strategic, today necessary for transport issues. And the road traffic is terrible.

 

I like the 060-DA with corrugated flanks and double head lights.

 

Unfortunately not enough time for some gardening along the track (i.e. cutting the bushes. May be some other can do that at the next visit?).
