Hi,
To the previous part of the series:
Regional Rail Express - 62: Transilvania V (50 p.)
railroadforums.com
May 1 2023
We walked on the promenade along Crișul Repede river. Many historic buildings have been nicely renovated, some are in disrepair.
Neolog synagogue of Oradea from 1905.
Greek-Catholic cathedral, St. Ladislaus I church and city hall.
I like the design of the main public transport stop at Piaţa Unirii - modern but reminiscent of art nouveau.
Sadly, only buses departing here at the moment.
The Greek-Catholic bishop's palace - erected in 1905 by Kálmán Rimanóczy - had replaced a baroque building.
Black Eagle palace, 1907-08.
It encompasses a whole art nouveau shopping mall.
The Deutsch house to the right, a former glassware store built by Károly Deutsch 1906-1910.
We walked back, now the facades facing west already were slightly lit by the sun. Moskovits Miksa palace.
You can stay overnight right next door to it.
I rested until half past six at Hotel Stokker, then went on an evening photo session - first a few city blocks further west to reach active streetcar lines.
Tatra KT4DM 206 (ex-Berlin 6073) operated on line 8 Pod CFR (terminal near a bridge of the railroad towards Arad across Crișul Repede) - Ioșia and met a brand-new Astra Imperio on line 4 Ioșia - Nufărul near Bulevardul Dacia stop. The reformed church of Rogerius district in the background.
These street markings could be found often in this part of the city.
Parc Olosig stop.
202 (ex-Berlin 6072) in front of the most flowering apartment block facade I have ever come across.
2020-21 twenty Astra Imperio Oradea units had been delivered, built in Romania on the base of the Siemens Avenio:

This font is widely used by Viennese public transport... ;-)
I waited for another meeting, then walked along Strada Lacul Roșu...
... and arrived at the well-known photo bridge of Strada Teodor Neș. IRC 628 658 appeared half an hour delayed at 6:22 p.m. coming from Arad and Timișoara.
Former Westerwaldbahn 628 677 at the rear of the train, to the right the tower of the reformed church Rét.
View towards the main station and older vehicles in the yard.
Long-distance IR 1833 Iași – Timișoara punctual as usual.
Panoramic image with Catholic cathedral.
Overnight express IRN 1742 Satu Mare - Bucharest consisted of eight cars on this holiday evening, hauled by two GMs past the dilapidated depot including a roundhouse with turntable and water tower.
Stabled IRC DMU.
IR 1533 Timișoara - Satu Mare reversing direction at Oradea station, a Siemens Desiro unit.
We leave Füstös bridge; the original had been erected around the turn of the century but has been completely replaced since.
Plenty of traffic on land and in the air.
Next, our star train: IR 143 "Transilvania" Vienna - Cluj was scheduled to arrive at 7:44 p.m. - not a lot of time to spare until sunset. It had arrived quite punctually at the border, but delays could always happen during border checks. The delay would only be displayed online once it departed nearby Episcopia Bihor.
I had walked through a park with playground to get a different perspective. Yes, at last it was shown 11 minutes late and already rolled past me at 7:50 p.m. in perfect glint.
Jimmy #1000 hauled the express.
The entrance to the depot and bridge in last evening light.
Iuliu Bodola stadium of FC Bihor had been built partly over the neighboring street. These stands looked quite desolate, only other sides of the stadium were in active use.
We could rest in our room until before midnight, then we walked to the station. In the distance we just heard the GM-rumbling of five minutes delayed "Corona" Budapest - Brașov.
The steamers on display even are partly lit at night.
A nice-looking IRC 628 behind them.
The platform tracks also are used to stable units for the next morning.
IRN 404 "Corvin" with our sleeping car to Vienna right behind 064 1300 appeared punctual to the second.
August 5 2018
I had only stayed shortly on the station square in midsummer heat carrying luggage five years earlier.
A cool waiting room with a view – perfect under the circumstances.
Our buddy 65-1300 in old numbering scheme arrived with international RE 365 from Püspökladány. The same cars will return to Hungary as R 6811 via Valea lui Mihai towards Debrecen.
Orient Express? Nope, wrong series!
64 0920 in "Rom" candy bar design (also available as popsicle to cool off) passed by.
Former DB 624 647 as TFC service to Cluj.
We are about to leave Romania and explore the rest of the line into Hungary. Together with a bunch of backpackers, I took my reserved seat booked one week in advance at Debrecen on board of IR 366 "Harghita" Brașov - Budapest.
