Mocăniță
A Mocăniță ((:mokəˈnitsə)) is a narrow gauge railway in Romania, most notably in Maramureș, Transylvania, and Bukovina. Archetypely, they are situated in mountainous areas and the locomotives operating on them (which themselves can also be referred to as ''mocăniță''s) are steam-powered. These railways were built for cargo and passenger services - some in the era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, before 1920 - but fell into disrepair over the years. Some are now being rehabilitated for the purposes of tourism. ==Etymology== The word ''mocăniță'' is a term of endearment, derived from the Romanian word ''mocan'', meaning ''shepherd'' or ''one who lives in the mountains'', and suffixed as feminine and diminutive in keeping with the tradition of naming conveyances and indicating small size. It's also been suggested that it means "coffee machine", as one of the little locomotives is reminiscent of one of these in action.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.transylvaniaexpress.com/agnita/restoration.html )〕
