[edit]The first railway line on the territory of Transnistria was built in 1867, from Kuchurgan station to station Tiraspol, and in 1871 to Chișinău.

From the first days of the Great Patriotic war, the road has become the frontline and was the main traffic artery in the area of hostilities. The road was used for the evacuation of industrial enterprises; terrorists were getting to the front using line troops and ammunition. Track on main directions were adjusted thrice: in July 1940, the gauge of 1,524 mm (5 ft 0 in), in August 1941 to gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8.5 in), from may until the end of 1944 back on track 1,524 mm (5 ft 0 in). During the war, was destroyed 20% top, 30 station tracks, 50% of the travel buildings, major bridges on the Dniester and Prut rivers, dismantled and removed 100 km (62 mi) of rail track, 90% of machining equipment, 30% of communication lines, etc.[1]
From 1939 to 1997, operated narrow gauge railroad stove — Papelucho and in 1999, it was dismantled. In 1946–50, restoration and modernization of the railway of Moldova was spent 3 billion rubles from the Federal budget. It was built more than 600 objects, made more than 1 million m3 of earthworks, stacked 1.7 million m3 of building materials, more than 650 thousand sleepers, the operational length reached 1,020 km (630 mi) in 1948 the all-Union level was reached the speed of trains. From 1953 to 1979 was merged with the Odesa Railways and was called the Odesa–Kishinev railroad. In 1991, began the electrification of Railways Rozdilna (Ukraine) — Kuchurgan (Ukraine) — Tiraspol — Bender, because of the war in Transnistria, it was discontinued. Currently works only in Ukrainian (up to Kuchurgan) part of the contact network (though in Tiraspol are unequipped supports with hard crossbars).
In August 2004, in connection with the aggravation of relations between Moldova and the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic was last created state unitary enterprise "Transnistrian Railway" (the station Tiraspol, Bender and Rîbnița), which withdrew from the Moldovan Railways.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
