The Beclean pe Someş – Rodna Veche railway is a main line in Romania . It runs along the river Someșul Mare ( Great Somesch ) in northern Transylvania .
history
When it was built, the railway line was on the territory of Hungary within the Habsburg dual monarchy . In 1886 the railway line from Dej to Bistrița went into operation. With the aim of opening up the ore deposits of Rodna Veche (today Rodna , in German Rodenau or Rodna , in Hungarian Óradna ) from there, the Hungarian government granted permission for the construction of a railway line leading to Rodna, which in Beclean (German and Hungarian Bethlen ) started. The line was opened in 1890 and operated by the Naszódvidéker local railway.
Later the line was nationalized and initially taken over by the Hungarian state railway MÁV , after the territorial changes as a result of the First World War by the Romanian railway CFR . As a result of the Second Vienna Arbitration , the route was temporarily returned to Hungary from 1940 to 1944.
Todays situation
The line is single-track. The section from Beclean to Ilva Mică is electrified and is now part of the important long-distance connection from Cluj-Napoca to Suceava . Several express trains run here every day. The non-electrified section from Ilva Mică to Rodna Veche is of somewhat less importance. This section was taken over by the private provider Via Terra Spedition in 2009 . Currently (2011) five pairs of local trains run daily on this section.
