Launched the first train connecting 🇺🇦 Ukraine and 🇷🇴 Romania.

Danger: long 🧵 ahead! :) Image
Just to remind. Back in August 2022, in the middle of the war, we completed 20km of new track reconstruction. That track was closed for 17 years. We done it in 2 months. And then we waited for another 4 months while Romanian railways completed its part of the job. Image
We also brought brand new diesel train to the route. Made in Ukraine during the war, btw. ImageImageImageImage

Another weekend #railway trip. Bulgaria unfortunately got cancelled due to the sudden PCR test requirement, but there are plenty of cool domestic trips possible in #Romania. On the line now between the oil city of Ploieşti and Sinaia. ImageImage
Departure from #Sinaia's lovely train station. A town well worth visiting for Peleş Castle and the mountains, but as I've been a gazillion times there before I'll pass on it for now and remain on board.
The #Carpathians are at their most majestic around Buşteni. Although the town itself isn't the prettiest, its a great starting point for hikes and has a cable car up the mountains. Image

Just Read a very nice article, whilst onboard #Emirates for a short trip to #Dubai about the 3 ships which were nearby when the #Titanic sunk and felt it was #TooGoodNotToShare ..

A quick reading is recommended..

It was 7 miles away from Titanic, but since the crew had been hunting seals illegally &didn't want to be caught,they turned away from the Titanic

This ship represents those of us who are so busy in our own sin &lives that we can't recognize when someone else is in need

This ship was only 14 miles away from the Titanic,but because the conditions weren't favorable & it was dark,the crew convinced themselves that nothing was happening

This ship represents those of us who say I can't do anything now & wait until conditions r perfect
