After consulting rain, it was decided avoran will be granted a correct answer, even if the actual word was not mentioned, so here it is:

Mocăniță

A Mocăniță (Romanian pronunciation: [mokəˈnit͡sə]) is a narrow-gauge railway in Romania, most notably in Maramureș, Transylvania, and Bukovina. Archetypely, they are situated in mountainous areas and the locomotives operating on them (which themselves can also be referred to as mocănițăs) are steam-powered. These railways were built for cargo and passenger services - some in the era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, before 1920 - but fell into disrepair over the years. Some are now being rehabilitated for the purposes of tourism.

Well thank you! I wasn't expecting that to be the winning answer, just to narrow it down! Since I can't really take over the next round, I'll leave it the hosts to figure out who should :D
