The Anghel Saligny Bridge, originally built in the 1890s to cross the Danube and Borcea branch of the Danube and known as the King Carol I Bridge, was depicted on a Romanian postage stamp in 1972. The bridge was opened in 1895 with a convoy of 15 whistling locomotives crossing it at 60 km/h, followed by a train reserved for 'guests', at 80 km/h.
