1 september 2008 - Sibiu (Rumunia), Cimitir. Jedyną linię tramwajową do Rasinari obsługuje jeden z czterech wiekowych wagonów sprowadzonych z Genewy.

1 september 2008 - Sibiu, Cimitir. Weteran z Genewy odstawiony na trójkącie torowym na początku linii podmiejskiej z Sibiu do Rasinari. Niestety, w pierwszy dzień szkoły mogliśmy sobie na niego tylko popatrzeć, bo nie wyglądał jakby ktoś go stąd ruszał. Według naklejonego na szybie rozkładu powinien akurat wracać z Rasinari. Cóż, jest tu po co wrócić.

29 september 2008 - Sibiu (RO) – Rasinari. Crossing a river on the approach to Rasinari village. If (as I fear) the tramway closes in a few weeks time, this will be a very sad loss. Like what happens in many places where tramways are then abolished, the bridge deck has just been renewed!

29 september 2008 - Sibiu, Romania - Calea Dumbravii: The Sibiu tram and trolleybus operations were amazing survivors, but would not last much longer when pictured outside the depot in 2008. The last two trolleybus routes, by now reduced to just one or two journeys each hour, went first and the depot yard was full of derelict vehicles. This left only the lovely interurban tramway line to the village of Rasinari, which had somehow kept going with only two serviceable trams running just a handful of trips each day. Everyone assumed that this would also close but (at the time of writing) the line can still be hired occasionally for charter trips, although there is now no regular public service. So against all the odds, a tram sometimes ventures along the overgrown and rickety track - long may it continue!

30 september 2008 - Sibiu, Romania – Rasinari. Trailer operation at Sibiu is now extremely rare as only two trailers remain fit for service. Swiss Standard tram 721 and trailer pass Rasinari war memorial near the village terminus.

30 september 2008 - Sibiu, Romania. The Sibiu to Rasinari tramway runs along the side of a local road for most of its length and a parallel bus service takes much of the traffic. Here, tram 721 and trailer run gently (and empty) through pleasant woodland on a Rasinari-Sibiu trip. How long can this last?

30 september 2008 - Sibiu – Rasinari. Because the Subiu-Rasinari interurban has only three operational trams, it’s quite easy to identify them! Here, green 721 approaches the village on tracks laid along the grass verge.

30 september 2008 - Sibiu, Romania – Cimitir. Car 721 and its trailer in the reversing triangle at the town terminus. Trams used to run on into Sibiu city, but the line closed many years ago and now the link is maintained by trolleybus.

30 september 2008 - Sibiu, Romania – Rasinari. Approaching Rasinari, the tramway passes through picturesque apple orchards and crosses a small river on this private track.

30 september 2008 - Sibiu (RO) – Rasinari. The tram has the right of way, of course – but some drivers either don’t realise it’s there, or have forgotten (it only runs a few times each day). Nearly a ‘Lipton moment’ here……

30 september 2008 - Sibiu (RO) – Rasinari. In Rasinari village, the tram slows to let one of the many horse-drawn vehicles cross the tracks. Most farmers in this district still rely entirely on horse transport.

30 september 2008 - Sibiu (RO) – Rasinari. Approaching the end of the line in the main village street. Trailer operation is extremely rare these days and, like the tramway itself, may soon be gone forever.

30 september 2008 - Sibiu (RO) – Rasinari. A picture with a story – maybe someone would like to translate for me? A few moments before, this woman and child were riding a loaded farm cart with her husband. The horses were frightened by the tram and suddenly ran away, completely out of control, with her husband (who lost his hat) still on the cart and trying hard to stop them. When the man finally got the cart under control again, nearly 1km further down the road, she refused to ride any further, so now she is walking home with the child whilst the cart goes on ahead. It could have been a very nasty accident if the cart had overturned (which looked very likely). We watched from the tram, thinking someone would get killed.

30 september 2008 - Sibiu, Romania - Calea Dumbravii: Tram #721 and trailer on the access street track leading to the depot, now completely gone. I believe that the remaining trams are now kept in the open air, which can`t do much for their condition. Getting trams in and out of the depot yard was a difficult operation, as this road was busy and the trams had to run against the traffic.

24 april 2009 - Trasa pomiędzy Sibiu a Rasinari. "Tramvaj/2" (tak w rozkładzie oznaczana jest druga kolejność na jedynej linii tramwajowej w Sibiu) wykonuje ostatni kurs na pierwszej części "przerywanej". Po dojechaniu do Sibiu zjedzie do zajezdni. Tym samym w mieście przestaną kursować tramwaje, bowiem całodzienny "tramvaj/1" obsługiwany był tego dnia MAZem.
