Budapest Children's Railway

Post by Gabor Kovacs »

Found a very interesting short video on Budapest Children's Railway.

The video, which is very short, was recently captured in the northern hemispheres' bitterly cold and snowy winter, this season. Rather picturesque video clip of a narrow gauge steam engine departing with its load from a station n the mountainous and nature reserve area on the outskirts of Budapest!

CLICK HERE to view the footage . . .

The description / caption to this video reads as follows:

The Children's Railway is located in the hilly outskirts of Budapest, on the right side of the river Danube. It is operated by children aged 10-14 under the supervision of adult railway attendants.

Nice, Gabby. But I guess we should take the term 'operate' very loosely; certainly not driving or firing or even guarding.
