The national railways of Romania and Moldova have signed a memorandum of understanding for cross-border co-operation which includes reopening of the Falciu – Prut (Cantemir) railway, electrification of the Iasi – Chisinau line, modernisation of customs facilities at Ungheni and the resumption of Cahul – Galati passenger services, https://www.railwaygazette.com/ informs.

Rehabilitation works are under way on the bridge, and on the Moldovan side CFM will rehabilitate the 1·8 km of line to Prut station by August this year. (Photo: Facebook CFR Infrastructura Iasi)
