The Dorneşti – Rădăuți railway is a branch line in Romania . It runs through the Bukovina in the northeast of the country .
history
During the creation of the railway line, it was on the territory of Austria within the Habsburg dual monarchy .
In 1869 the Chernivtsi – Suceava line of the Lemberg – Chernivtsi Railway Company went into operation. It served mainly to connect Romania to Central Europe, but bypassed some of the most important cities in Bukovina, e.g. B. Siret and Rădăuți .
With the aim of connecting these cities to the existing railway network, several private local railway companies were founded, including the Bukowinaer Lokalbahnen . These began in 1888 in Dorneşti (then Hadikfalva , with a predominantly Hungarian population) with the construction of the line to Rădăuți (German Radautz ). The bridging of the Suceava River made it necessary to build a 254 m long wooden bridge.
Operations began on November 17, 1889.
In 1898 the line became the property of the New Bukovina Local Railway Company .
After the end of the First World War , the Bukovina came to Romania; the operation of the line was taken over by the Romanian state railway CFR .
Current situation
The line is single-track and not electrified. It is part of the course book route 515 from Dorneşti to Nisipitu or Putna and is only of local importance. Currently (2009) around five local trains run in both directions every day.
