Only 50 meters separate the guests from the morning steam train into the Vaser Valley.

The Restaurant

The dining car of the "Carpatia-Express" is also open for guests without accommodation in the hotel train. An early reservation is necessary..

The memorial locomotive

At the front of the "Carpatia-Express" can be found a historic steam locomotive built at the Romanian factory in Resita. It is a later development of the German "2-10-0 standard freight locomotive" Class 150 of the former "German State Railway" (Deutsche Reichsbahn). After the end of World War II the Resita Factory built 282 locomotives for the Romanian State Railway (CFR). This engine is therefore not just an impressive jewel in the hotel train crown; Resita 150.216 is also a piece of European railway history!
