Abony, Abonyi út, Szajol, Kecskemét

Today I'm in the Eastern parts of Hungary, checking out the railways bound for Romania and Ukraine
Abony station is located on the railway 100 Budapest–Szolnok–Debrecen–Nyíregyháza–Záhony 


383 413 I saw yesterday, is already back today - now heading eastbound
It has country packages: CZ, D, A, SK, RO, SLO, PL, H, HR
Most probably, it's on the way to Romania



Not sure what they are doing, some kind of measurement
187 522, PSŽ - Prvá Slovenská železničná

Traxx AC3 is not as powerful as Vectron MS when it comes to countries covered; this one supports H, RO (D, A are strikethrough)
Tagnpps wagon is a 4-axle covered discharging wagon designed to transport agricultural products, mainly grain and similar bulk products sensitive to moisture.

240 072 at the back



The railway is due to be upgraded with ETCS 2
609 013
The diesel-electric locomotives employed by CFR and built by Electroputere Craiova are known as classes 60 to 68 and were initially registered under the series 060-DA. They were based on a design created by SLM Winterthur, BBC Baden, and Sulzer Winterthur and bear an external resemblance to AE 6/6 Swiss electric locomotives.

Now, visiting Line 102a, Budapest–Újszász–Szolnok and nearby station Abonyi út
This railway is combined together with Line 82 Hatvan–Szolnok, bypassing Budapest on the route between East and Northwest (e.g. Romania to Slovakia)


193 229
Rurtalbahn Cargo, aka RTB Cargo


117 209 railcar





Nearby town - Szolnok

Szajol is a junction station for Railway 100 to Zahony (on the border with Ukraine) and Railway 120 to Lőkösháza (on the border with Romania). However, there is another connection to Romania through Railway 100 to Oradea and Cluj Napoca. Line 120, on the other hand, is the only fully electrified line all the way to Curtici, Arad, and Bucharest.


416 035, manufactured by Russian company Metrovagonmas

480 006, 160km/h version of Traxx

Many locomotives from H-Start are decorated by Loc&More 



Here is the junction, the train at the right is coming from Railway 120 (from Romania), while the train to the left is coming from Railway 100 (either Ukraine or Romania)

Since 2020, the Alstom Astride (aka SNCF Class BB 36000) has been operated in Hungary and Croatia. Here is 490 008 from the leasing company Akiem
Soon, these locomotives will also be deployed for MAV Intercity services
490 008 has country packages: H, HR, SRB, RO, SLO, BIH - the networks of 25kV and 3kV




416 035 is back

193 941 from Hungarian company Fox Rail 

193 941 has country labels: D, A, BG, SK, RO, CZ, H






242 250
Škoda 47E




I think from today's observation, the conclusion is that most freight trains are coming from Debrecen (Railway nr 100) direction

193 850 that I saw yesterday




Today I'm staying in Kecskemét, the 8th largest city in Hungary


The railway station



Railway 140 passes here, connecting Cegléd–Szeged








Time for some Hungarian goulash
