Now we get to today's #CrossBorBorderRail! @jon
The train terminates at Кардам (Kardam) which is about 5 km from the Romanian border. The following part of the line in Bulgaria is still in acceptable condition, e. g. the railway crossing is still maintained.
After I had to answer some stupid questions by the Bulgarian border police, I made my way into Romania. Unfortunately, the railway line is not very close to the road in Romania. But my impression from the distance was that the tracks are still usable.
The first railway station in Romania is Negru Vodă which isn't served by trains anymore. The tracks were in poor condition and need a lot of repair if you want to run trains there again.

A unused railway crossing, there is a but of grass on the track.
A big meadow with a railway line crossing through. There is a small bridge over some water.
Railway station Negru Vodă. Everything looks rusty or is covered by weeds.
