(Chişinău -) Ungheni CFM - Cristesti Jijia CFR (- Iaşi)
[D] The track is dual 1435/1520 mm gauge between Ungheni and Socola marshalling yard on the eastern outskirts of Iaşi. CFR operates 1435mm gauge trains to Ungheni.
(Basarabeasca -) Prut-2 CFM - Fălciu CFR (- Bârlad)
[D] The track between Prut-2 and Fălciu was dual 1435/1520 mm gauge. The 1435 mm gauge lines are reported as disused and cut in places, but a service was re-introduced on the 1520 mm gauge line in 2010. No service in the 2011-2012 timetable or the 2012-2013 timetable. This crossing was previously officially permitted only to Romanian and Moldovan citizens, but was reported in 2010 as available to citizens of other countries.
(Reni (Ukraine) -) Giurgiuleşti CFM - Galaţi CFR (- Barboşi)
[D] A 1520mm gauge freight-only line runs from the Danube port at Galaţi (Romania) to the transhipment area of Giurgiuleşti (Moldova) and continues to Reni (Ukraine). The Galaţi - Giurgiuleşti section was converted to dual 1435/1520 mm gauge in 2014, with a gauge changer at Giurgiuleşti, and the first through train (conveying fuel tanks) ran in September 2014.
