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.

Congrats, avoran!!
Last, but not least, I want to thank all of you for teaching me new things about Romania through your research and questions
