“…Taking China as an example, the management of Chinese railway heritage is still chaotic. There are several kilometers of transnational railway lines, short transportation lines located in industrial areas, and many single railway bridges and railway stations that are waiting for protection and development [54]. Learning from the experience of the scenic railway can bring a better understanding and management of these heritage sites and further stimulate the classification, registration, and evaluation of the corresponding railway relics in China.…”

Scenic railway refers to the trains that operate for tourism purposes, which are mainly maintained for facilitating leisure activities, scenic tours, and heritage experiences. As both an extension of railway heritage and an important redevelopment method, this concept is meaningful for the touristic development of historical railways but has received less attention in academia. To understand the tourism and landscape values of scenic railways from a geo-historical perspective and discuss the recent techniques and methods for railway tourism, this article first introduces the relationship between railway and landscape and the concept of scenic railway in French literature. Secondly, it analyzes the current distribution of French scenic railways based on geographic information system (GIS) tools. Through georeferencing, mapping, data relating and joining, calculating, and classifying, different groups of scenic railways are systemized and published online. Following statistical treatment, the pattern of distribution of scenic railways in comparison with the standard-gauge railway system in France is revealed. Based on the discussions on scenic railways, further study should focus more on the landscape evaluation of scenic railways and its integration with other spatial technologies for deeper geo-analysis. Moreover, the research results can serve as a reference for the development of relative railway heritage and tourist activities.

“…For the implementation of industrial sites regeneration projects, high-level cooperation between various stakeholders is needed, which takes the form of collaborative management (Popoviciu, 2012). Railway elements have been reused for cultural purposes (museums, exhibition spaces) (Bazac, 2021;Cano Sanchiz et al, 2020;Dorobanţu, 2020;Ekimci et al, 2019;Merciu et al, 2014;Michniack, 2016), tourism (tourist railways, hotels, restaurants) (Bazac, 2021;Michniack, 2016;di Ruocco et al 2017), as office spaces for activities in the field of creative industries (Ekimci et al, 2019), etc.…”

The characteristics of the industrial heritage (antiquity, architectural, cultural, technological value) determined its inscription in the category of historical monuments. In recent years, non-invasive digital technologies have been used in studies focused on documenting, digitizing, preserving elements of industrial heritage. Also, another objective of digitizing the industrial heritage is to facilitate its promotion as a cultural resource among the general public. The purpose of this study is to promote the railway station of Curtea de Argeş through non-invasive technology. The analyzed industrial monument represents a symbolic building of the neo-Romanian architectural style. The building is also associated with a remarkable historical value: the railway station was also used by the Romanian royal family. Based on the use of terrestrial photogrammetry (versatile GNSS RTK GS18 I sensor) and aerial (photogrammetric flight), the authors created the 3D model of the station, obtaining a high-resolution modeling. The results of this study reflect the usefulness of modern technology for documenting, 3D modeling and promoting an industrial monument inscribed on the list of national cultural heritage. The accuracy and optimal performance of the measurements made, using GNSS technology and aerial photogrammetry, allowed highlighting the remarkable architectural and volumetric characteristics of the railway station of Curtea de Argeş Municipality.
