"Top of the slope" station located on the CFR 100 highway (Bucharest - Craiova - Timișoara). That's why the trains on the Craiova - Dr. Tr. Severin route (which will go down the slope) have a mandatory stop here, for the revision of the braking system. In the project to modernize highway 100 to increase the speed to 160 Km/h, a bypass option is provided for this sector, between Prunișor and Dr. Tr. Severin Est, with a double line and a long tunnel of over 6 Km in the exploitation area of Husnicioara coal, but the old line here will be kept in operation for low-speed (regio) trains, to continue serving the towns along the route.
