    The narrow gauge railway from Moldovita was built by an owner of sawmill from Munich, Louis Or Book, and used in 1888 for the transport of timber from forest to sawmill.

    In 1909 the line was taken from the church fund which changed the line gauge from 800 millimeters to standardized gauge 760 millimeters. Initially, the route of the mocăniţa was 23.9 kilometers, from Moldovița to Roșoșa, but over the years a lot of variants were built and the whole system arrived in 1987 with the establishment of the Râșcovei - Râșca straight line + Burns at a length. of 73 kilometers.

    The Moldovita line was used until 2001 for timber transport. Starting with July 2005, the line is administered by the Association for the preservation of narrow lines in Romania. Currently, the line is 10.5 kilometers long.
