One of the main railway lines of Romania, line CFR 100 (Bucharest - Timisoara), passes through the scenic natural environment of the Southern Carpathian mountain range. Scenery areas along this line stretch through numerous river valleys to the point where the Carpathians meet the Danube River, in the Đerdap Gorge. Single track section of the line stretches along the narrow edge of the Danube river bank, over numerous old steel bridges and through several tunnels. Then, the line separates from the Danube River and passes over a smaller mountain pass between Orșova and Caransebeș. In that part, it goes through the valley of the Tamish and Belareca rivers, where it crosses a few bridges and passes through several tunnels.

During this video, the valley of the Belareca River is shown, with its few bridges and a tunnel, as well as the flattened part in the area of Iablanița, Mehadia and Domaşnea. One of the special scenic parts with phenomenal bird chirping is located at the entrance to Poarta train station. Dense forest at the entrance to the Poarta tunnel, with a special mix of the most diverse animal sounds, croaking frogs, evening crickets sounds, birds chirping and singing, gives a special impression of calming appeasable nature. In front of the one tunnel a large dragonfly appeared, clinging to the plant, so that even a passing train couldn't blow away. A significant number of video sequences were created in the Đerdap Gorge, along the bank of the Danube river. In that part, numerous concrete protective coastal fortifications stand out, protecting the railroad from water, old steel bridges stretch over numerous river gulfs and huge protective concrete walls overhang station Vârciorova (Virci Orova).

A significant number of different freight trains of various cargo operators pass through this line. There are about a dozen of them during the day. Long and heavy freight train traction are often pulled by two or three locomotives, where there is often one locomotive in the middle of freight train, which is very rare to see on the European railways. They are mostly Romanian-made LE 5100, six-axle CFR and others electric ASEA locomotives from Electroputere Craiova. There are also a couple of CFR Calatori passenger and InterRegio trains. The longest daily train of them is IR 73 (Curtici - Arad - București Nord). When there are no trains, scenery views and sounds of nature complement the scenic ambience, during the waiting for the next train coming.
