Welcome to "Phil's Loco Photos"

A ten day trip to Romania and Bulgaria with a mix of railways and catching up with some friends on the way. I flew to Bucureşti Otopeni via Wien and then went to Caracal for a couple of nights. On the Sunday I went to Bucureşti and stayed there one night. Next day I took the international train to Gorna Orjahovica getting a 62 to Giurgiu Nord and the 07.065 to Ruse. After a few days staying in Veliko Târnovo we did the Elena branch train again but this time only as far as Boaza where we found a nice restaurant. I left just after midnight with a sleeper to Silistra getting required 07.063 and then the “platoon” over the Danube. I managed to get to Feteşti for a dated train which I took to Piatra Olt which was booked to take an avoiding line around Bucureşti but it didn’t in the end sadly. I then took a local train to Caracal for another night there. I returned to Bucureşti next day and my flight back home via Wien
