Dear friends of the Sibiu-Agnita railway,
This coming weekend we will be running for the fifth time at the Sibiu Fund-raising Marathon, this time to raise funds for a mechanized vertical tamper. For ten years now we have been manually tamping ballast under sleepers with tamping picks, but apart from being low-efficient, this is painful for our backs, so we are keen on purchasing a
Robel vertical tamper.
So far we have raised short of 6000 lei out of the 15000 which we need, so if you like what we are doing for the Sibiu-Agnita railway, then you may want to support our runners and help us get this tool. Visit
our marathon page for more info about our project and pick one of our runners to support by donating towards our project.
