Golești–Câmpulung railway

Inaugurated on 21 June 1887 and derailed two months later between Mihăești and Stâlpeni; still an hour and a half up the Râul Târgului to Câmpulung.

A secondary Romanian line, single track and unelectrified, opened in 1887 and extended by about 14 km to Argeșel in 1972 to serve the cement works there. The route measures 56.9 km and is booked at 115 minutes; CFR Călători worked it in 2023 with Series 900 railcars and Siemens Desiros.

• Checked against the running timetable via ÖBB Scotty: our line passes within 21 m of every station R 9119 calls at (the planner's own shape was too coarse to measure a line against)
• Wikipedia has an article for this line
• See for yourself: open this line on the map with OpenStreetMap's own railway drawn underneath it
