Romania is an international passenger train running daily from Bucharest, Romania to Sofia, Bulgaria. During summer months, the train operates together with the Bosphorus Express from Bucharest to Gorna Oryahovica, where the latter heads southeast toward Istanbul, Turkey. Romania is operated by two national railway operators: Căile Ferate Române and the Bulgarian State Railways. Route description The route of the Romania begins at North station in Bucharest. The joint Romania/Bosphorus Express departs the station at 12:45 EET and heads west along Route 900 until Videle, where it branches south and heads toward Giurgiu. At Giurgiu North station, border police board the train and conduct a passport and customs control. Afterwards, the train crosses the Danube river via the Danube Bridge and enters Ruse, Bulgaria. After an hour break at Central station in Ruse, the Romania heads southwest toward Gorna Oryahovica. The train travels across mostly flat farmland with some rolling hills; but is forced to run at relatively slow speeds due to the winding route of the railway. Scheduled arrival at Gorna Oryahovica is at 18:28, where the Bosphorus Express is decoupled. The Romania then continues west along flat farmland, north of the Balkan Mountains, arriving at Pleven at 19:38. The route then turns southwest and after Cherven Bryag, enters the western Balkan Mountains. The Romania traverses the winding route through the mountains, stopping at Mezdra and Svoge until exiting the mountain range near Novi Iskar, just north of Sofia. After a quick stop at Sofia North station, the Romania arrives at Sofia Central Station at 22:25. Track owners

Notable quotes

“Because of its lack of geographical unity, Romania is a place full of contrasts.”
— The Automobile Association, Foreign Touring Guide, p. 434, 1931
“The Romanian constitution of 1866 was simply an imitation of the Belgian one of 1833. This was a remarkable performance: Romania was an agrarian country of rural-patriarchal type, while Belgium was one of the most industrialized and bourgeois countries on the continent. Given all the constitutions available to choose from, the Romanians opted for the most advanced and liberal of them all!”
— Lucian Boia, Romania: borderland of Europe (translated by James Christian Brown), p. 86, 2001
“Driving through the Rumanian countryside I found was an unmixed pleasure. The landscape is very beautiful, and entirely unspoiled. The roads are either Roman and straight, or romantic and devious and narrow. There is little traffic, and one moves fast.”
— Congress for Cultural Freedom, Encounter, volume 21, p. 96, 1963
“Romania is a less extreme version of Egypt, with a mass of peasantry and a precocious consumer class that is limited mainly to a few districts of the capital. As my train entered Bucharest from the north, I saw miles of corrugated-metal squatter settlements as bad as many in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.”
— Robert D. Kaplan, The Fulcrum of Europe, The Atlantic, September 1998
“For much of Rumania's charm is to be found in her mountains. Unforgettable is the first sight of the Carpathians, so thickly, richly wooded that, at a distance, it seems impossible that there could be roads or even paths piercing the greenness.”
— May Mackintosh, Rumania, p. 15, 1963
“Rumania is essentially an agricultural country. The ores of the Carpathians are not utilised, for there are no roads which give access to them.”
— Élisée Reclus, The Earth and Its Inhabitants: Europe, Vol. I, p. 167, 1882
