Romania is by far the smallest producer of coal of the countries examined here, and the mining towns are generally considerably smaller on average than the analogous towns in Russia and Ukraine.
Anina, in contrast, was included in the research project precisely because of its isolated situation and the absence of its political influence.
In Romania, the role of the mining enterprise in the provision of housing and other assets was not as great as in the former Soviet republics, but some portion of the housing stock is the responsibility of the municipality, although this is generally not considered a priority or even a concern for the local authorities.

 Căile Ferate Române - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first railway line on Romania's present-day territory was opened on August 20, 1854 and ran between Oraviţa in Transylvania and Baziaş, a port on the Danube.
After Romania became a Communist republic in 1949, there was quite a significant amount of investment in railway infrastructure, often to the detriment of other forms of infrastructure, especially roads.
After this, the situation of Romanian railways improved significantly, mainly spurred on by Romania's economic boom after the year 2000, which permitted a considerable amount of government investment in railways and has led CFR to once again become one of the most successful railway operators in the region.

The lack of the railways and roads could be considered without making any mistake, the cause, which for many years, have been limited the level of the coal exploitation activity, both on a national and international level.
Between Anina and Oravi?a mines, the coals were transported on a railway on which it was used the horse traction, whereas on the climbing areas they used funicular devices.
Due to the exploitation of coals ores, 23 railways were built in Romania, which were called “ the coal’s railways”, with a length of 825 km, representing 7.4% of the total national railway network.

For the first, scientific aim, a comparison between the Mid-Cretaceous floras of USA and Romania is proposed, focusing on the conifer assemblages and on the entire floras as a whole, as well.
For Romania, this study is very important as almost no research was done on floras of this age, with very few exceptions (Givulescu et al., 1980, 1986) so a serious knowledge gap exists in this case.
In Romania, the need for a new didactic attitude, using new approaches, new data, and improved educational discourse that combines the research and education can be satisfied only after a serious, a profound experience of the American educational system, in an American university.
