Train crews discuss tactics at the terminus of the Novat branch on the Wassertalbahn logging railway in Romania.

The morning empties and coach for the loggers is climbing the valley above the junction at Novat on the Wassertalbahn, Viseu-de-Sus, Romania.

The morning empties and coach for logging staff is climbing the valley above the junction at Novat on the Wassertalbahn, Viseu-de-Sus, Romania.

Awaiting departure with the morning empty log wagons at Viseu-de-Sus. The coach is for the logging staff heading up the line to work. In the background the yellow coach is used on tourist trains, and behind are the hoists for handling logs in the timber yard.

Loading timber part way up the Novat branch on the forest line above Viseu-de-sus. The mud was everywhere, and typical of forestry operations. An unrepeatable scene as this branch has since been abandoned.

The brakeman is at his post as a train of logging bogies leaves the loop at Poiana Novat on the now defunct branch off the Wassertalbahn.

The sun has already dipped out of sight in the deep valleys of Viseu-de-Sus as the afternoon timber train heads homewards from the Novat valley on the branch that was destroyed by flooding in 2008. Sadly, although the main line of this system has been repaired, the branch will not be rebuilt.

On this particular morning the second train of empty bolsters was heavily delayed and this allowed a chance to catch 764-421 leaving Botizu in sunshine during the brief time that the sun reached the valley bottom.
