Bridges are crazy busy this summer, we've avoided going to Canada just cause of the wait times. Over a 1/2 hour one day at 7:30 AM, usually its a couple minutes at that hour.
Half hour, ha ha. The bridge crossing from Chisinau to Bucharest is a 3-4 hour delay, even on the train!
-
The Danube crossing for Bucharest to Sofia is nearly three hours.
-
OUCH! yeah that would be bad with 2 very young kids.
-
You fancy people and your bridge crossings into other countries.

Yup, ages 5 and 7. They are used to it though. They like the Chisinau crossing because a crane lifts the train up while they switch out the wheels underneath. It's very cool.

Why do they have to change out the wheels?

Different gauge tracks. One country has narrower tracks than the other... I think

Hanging out with the EMC Isilon guys on a call.

CIS (Russian) world and EU worlds have different rail gauges. When crossing from the former USSR into the EU you have to have different width wheels for the different gauge tracks. CIS is narrow gauge, EU is wide.

Moldova narrow, Romania wide.

I think some of those may involve the afformentioned beer that NTG has stocked.
