I'm in Hungary, and the weather is fantastic - clear blue sky all week
I'm starting my trip in Hungary in the east - the 4th largest town, Miskolc
Miskolc-Gömöri station
Miskolc-Tiszai station
From this station, there are direct trains to Budapest
East European housing style is very much present here
Hévízgyörk station on the railway between Miskolc and Budapest

It has been a warm summer here
At Vác-Alsóváros I can spot this piece of art
424 247 is a MÁV Class 424 built 1955
The 424 class is a double-chimneyed, superheated machine. Its nicknames were "Buffalo" and "Nurmi" (after Paavo Nurmi, a famous Finnish runner well known in Hungary).
Locomotives of the same design operated in Yugoslavia as JŽ class 11.
Fifteen were supplied to North Korea as war aid during the Korean War; these kept their MÁV running numbers (424.006 through 424.020) in Korean State Railway service.
When production ended in 1958, 514 machines had been produced, of which 149 were for foreign orders. They remained in service until 1984, when steam engines were withdrawn in Hungary. (Wikipedia)
And it's already back
The water level in the nearby Danube River is rising after recent rains, so the local citizens are preparing for the worst.
Apparently Class 424 needs some help from 408 203
Something is going on
Maintenance vehicle
Eurocity train to Czechia
193 820, PSŽ - Prvá Slovenská Železnicná
This is the railway to/from Slovakia, so there are some Slovak and Czech trains on the route
240 106
Škoda 47E operates only on 25kV networks; hence it can be used here in Hungary and parts of Czechia and Slovakia, at least until Brno
Looks like there is a single track operation ahead
193 232, LTE
240 083, Budamar
Újpalota station - which is in central Budapest
I can spot same locomotive here again
630 035
The 2024 Central European floods were caused by a record heavy rainfall generated by Storm Boris, an extremely humid Genoa low. The flooding began in Austria and the Czech Republic and then spread to Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, and Hungary. As of 28 September 2024, 27 fatalities have been reported. (Wikipedia)
The Danube River swelled to record levels in Hungary's capital, Budapest, early on Saturday, September 21st, 2024, reaching up to 830 centimeters (over 27.2 feet).
The station for the commuter train H5 line was closed
M3 metro line is open
