Hungary: MAV Class 431 electric loco leaves Debrecen on a Budapest Nyugati bound passenger train

Hungary: MAV Class 431 electric locomotive (no. 431 374) leaves Debrecen on train IC564, the 1125 Budapest Keleti to Budapest Nyugati circular. Clip recorded 2nd September 2023. The MÁV Class V43 is a Hungarian electric locomotive with a box-like appearance. It was meant to replace the MÁV Class V40 and MÁV Class V60, as well as the widespread Class 424 steam locomotives. A total of 379 locomotives were built between 1963 and 1982. The first seven prototype members of the class were ordered in 1960 by the Hungarian administration. After those 7 first units built in Essen, the subsequent 372 ones were built under licence in Hungary by Ganz-MÁVAG (mechanical parts) and Ganz Villamossági Mũvek (electrical parts) in Budapest. The class design is based on the successful French Railways (SNCF) B’B’ 1.5 kV DC BB 9400 class then in the process of delivery, with which it shared the general structure, particularly the main frames and the single-engine bogies deriving from the famous “Jacquemin drive” ones. The V43 is the still the main workhorse for electric traction in Hungary. Its early generation semiconductor technology is now considered obsolete, but the type has good efficiency for both freight and passenger traction. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Hungarian State Railways (Hungarian: Magyar Államvasutak, MÁV) is the Hungarian national railway company, with divisions "MÁV START Zrt."

A city with county rights, it was the largest Hungarian city in the 18th century and it is one of the Hungarian people's most important cultural centres. Debrecen was also the capital city of Hungary during the revolution in 1848–1849. There have also been improvements to some parts of the railway between the capital and Debrecen as part of Hungary's mainly EU-funded National Development Plan for 2004 to 2006. There are many railway stations in Debrecen, the most significant is the main station of Debrecen, in addition other smaller stations exist, these include Debrecen-Csapókert, Debrecen-Kondoros, Debrecen-Szabadságtelep and Tócóvölgy. Debrecen's proximity to Ukraine, Slovakia and Romania enables it to develop as an important trade centre and transport hub for the wider international region. Local transport in the city consists of buses, trolleybuses, and trams. There are 2 tram lines, 5 trolleybus lines, and 60 bus lines. It is provided by the DKV (Debreceni Közlekedési Vállalat, or Transport Company of Debrecen). -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ @FrontCompVids - Follow us on Twitter!
