Rail-2-Sea
Rail-2-Sea is a project of the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) that envisions developing and modernizing a long railway line connecting the Polish Baltic Sea port of Gdańsk with the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanța. This railway would pass through Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland and it aims to improve the infrastructure of these countries, although it will also have a civilian and military use. It may also have implications for 5G technology. All these countries are members of the European Union (EU) and NATO, and Poland and Romania in particular are the closest allies of the United States in the region, reason for which this country has expressed support for the project. In Romania, this railway will have 3 branches: Nordic A (passing through cities like Cluj-Napoca, Sighișoara and Brașov), Nordic B (passing through cities like Arad, Deva, Alba Iulia, Sighișoara and Brașov) and Southern (passing through cities like Timișoara, Caransebeș, Orșova and Craiova).

Three Seas Initiative
The Three Seas Initiative (3SI or TSI), known also as the Baltic, Adriatic, Black Sea (BABS) Initiative or simply as the Three Seas (Latin: ''Trimarium'', Polish: ''Trójmorze''), is a forum of twelve states, in the European Union, running along a north–south axis from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic and Black Seas in Central and Eastern Europe. The Initiative aims to create a regional dialogue on questions affecting the member states. In 2016, representatives of those states (Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia) met for their first summit in Dubrovnik, Croatia. At the seventh summit in Riga on June 20, 2022, Ukraine received the status of a partner-participant of the ITM, ''de facto'' becoming a participant in this initiative. Statistics The twelve Three Seas countries cover 29 per cent of the European Union’s territory (1,210,000 km²), are home to 25 percent of the European Union's i ...

Via Carpathia
Via Carpathia (also Via Carpatia) is a planned transnational highway network connecting Klaipėda in Lithuania with Thessaloniki in Greece. It is currently planned to open in 2025.

Railway Lines In Romania
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hungary–Romania Border
The Hungary–Romania border is the state border between Hungary and Romania. It was established in 1920 by an international commission (the "Lord Commission") presided over by geographers including Emmanuel de Martonne and Robert Ficheux, and historians Robert William Seton-Watson and Ernest Denis.
