"CFF Vişeu de Sus is located in the East side of Maramureş county. Also known as "Mocăniţa” or Vaser Valley railway, the steam train track leads along the River Vaser and is the only mean of transport to the heart of Maramureş Mountains (protected area).

Built in 1932, the Vaser Valley railway is still working, primarily aimed as logging wood from the forest for the wood processing factories from Vişeu de Sus. CFF Vişeu de Sus is today the last remaining functional forestry train in Europe still used for wood transportation.
Since the year 2000, there are regular steam trains also used for tourist purpose. The tourist season starts in spring and ends in late autumn."
