History

edit

The first railway line on Romania's present-day territory was opened on August 20, 1854,[2] and ran between Oravița in Banat and Baziaș, a port on the Danube. The line, which had a length of 62.5 km (38.8 mi), was used solely for the transportation of coal. From January 12, 1855, the line was operated by the Imperial Royal Privileged Austrian State Railway Company, the Banat province being at that time part of the Austrian Empire. After several improvements in the following months, the line was opened to passenger traffic on November 1, 1856.
