On the centenary of the Teliu Tunnel's breakthrough, Emil Dănescu, a former railway worker, highlights its historical significance and personal connection. The tunnel, the longest in Romania at 4.3 kilometers, has a rich history, including a unique construction story involving simultaneous work from both ends. Dănescu's passion for railways stems from his family's legacy, and he has authored several books to preserve this heritage. He recently published a volume commemorating the tunnel's centenary. Additionally, local plans aim to develop tourism around the tunnel, inspired by legends, including one about a ghost with a lantern. Dănescu emphasizes the need for institutional support to keep railway stories alive.
