Typical train experience

A train is normally constitued of wagons to travel inside, and a locomotive to move the train, the motor. It’s sounds like a evidence no? But some trains are particulary differents of the normals one.

Anina – Oravița: A typical train, from the 19th century. 33kms of trainways at 15km/h , 2 hours and half of travel and a very particular experience, Let me tell you!

Imagine that you arrive in the Anina train station (40 minutes of auto-stop at the South of Reșița) with your band of friends. You wait, it’s sunny, the good mood is here, we’ll take this train that everybody told us.

And the train arrives. It gives me chills like when you already know it will be amazing. We get on the train.

The train is starting, very slowly, very noisy, full of history. Impessionnant… After a short pic-nic inside, we let this freedom enters in us. All the windows and the doors are opened. You can sit on the floor with the legs outside, did you tried it before? When we undestant that the train is really really slow, an idea is growing in our mind: Maybe we can run a bit out of the train! why not? an other experience you have to try 😉

We speak a bit with the controler, he tells us about the story of this train, shows us very olds pictures, he is working here since always. Outside the landscapes are beautiful. Old bridges, mountains, tunnels, blue sky and nature. I get out my harmonica of my pocket and play a bit.

I will stop to write a bit and dream again about this travel. Come to dream with me if you want 😉
