Facts and Figures from Roumania

Facts and Figures from Roumania.

Some 2,250 steam locomotives are operated by the Roumanian Government Railways, passenger carriages numbering about 2,300. Freight wagons total 51,000, and large numbers of steel tank cars are utilised for hauling the output of the rich Roumanian oil-fields. In 1927 the Roumanian railways conveyed 39,000,000 passengers and 24,000,000 tons of merchandise. The passenger carriages employed in this picturesque land are of somewhat primitive design on the branch route services, but on the principal through expresses, however, luxurious dining and sleeping cars are operated in considerable numbers (writes our special London Correspondent).
