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. 
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.
View from the train as it departs from Buşteni towards Predeal and Braşov.
Trundling through the forests at a leisurely speed. On many lines, the Romanian Railways (CFR) doesn't really go at faster speeds than 50kph on average. If you buy a ticket, it will list the distance and duration, allowing you to calculate it precisely. Try it on yout next trip!
All out at Braşov! There don't seem to be many people remaining on board for the remainder of the train's journey to Făgăraş and Sibiu. Most actually already got off before in Sinaia.
The Transylvanian city of #Braşov is as gorgeous as always. One of the destinations in #Romania which is great to visit year-round.
Braşov at night..
