Mocanita "Elvetia" Through Heavy Snow

In this photo tour we really had snow on the line and this was amazing for photos and for the trip itself.

Here is a short video clip from the tour when we really had snow on CFF Viseu de Sus and this was amazing for photos and for the trip itself.

Our trip to Faina took some time because of the heavy snow and the workers going up the valley on Monday. For this reason five trains left Viseu depot in the morning. The last one was a line working train that pulled a special horse wagon so it took some time to get to Valea Babii because “Ecaterina” (small yellow diesel) runs very slow in the snow.

At the same time it was a long journey for us returning to Viseu accompanied by other three trains. Before Delta Novat we had to wait for the last wagons to be loaded at the same place where the avalanche hit the train on Saturday.

This short video shows haw big the snow was and how hard it was snowing in Paltin.
