Derelict narrow gauge locomotives at Viseu de Sus



Unfortunately one can see many derelict narrow gauge locomotives at Viseu de Sus. During my mocanita trip I walked by the depot near the CFF station. Among the locomotives that I could identify I also found 3 broken steam locomotives from the 764.000 series and a small diesel locomotive, that I could not. Not used for many years, their number plates are long gone. The small locos once used to run daily on the mocanita line of the Vaser Valley, but now they are damaged irreparably. Most likely they will be slowly dismembered, their parts used as replacement for the operational locos.

CFF Viseu de Sus 764.313



Another 764.000 series narrow gauge steam locomotive in a derelict state at Viseu de Sus is 764.313. This loco was not built by the locomotive factories at Resita, like the others. It was constructed in 1922 by the MÁVAG factories at Budapest, along with many other similar locos, for the forestry lines of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Unfortunately now it's in a very bad shape.
