The former name of the line was Úttörővasút (Pioneer Railway, in reference to the communist scouts), and now the official designation is MÁV Zrt. Széchenyi-hegyi Gyermekvasút. Except the train driver, all of the posts are operated by children, beside adult supervision. In 1947, the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) society decided that a railway operated by children would be built. For the railway construction several sites were considered, including the neighbourhood of the Gödöllő Palace, Margaret Island and the Népliget, but finally in 1948 the Hungarian Communist Party choose the Buda Hills. The construction started on April 11, 1948. The first section, from Széchényi Hill to Előre station (now Virágvölgy) was inaugurated on July 31, 1948. The second section, to Ságvári-liget (now Szépjuhászné), was completed one year later, and the last section, to Hűvösvölgy, was opened in late August 1950. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Route and distances in KM: Legend 0 Széchenyi-hegy 0.8 Normafa mh. 1.7 Csillebércformerly Úttörőváros 3.0 Virágvölgyex-Előre 4.5 Jánoshegy 6.7 Szépjuhásznéformerly Ságvári-liget - - -Kishárshegy mh.closed 8.7 Hárshegy - - -Tunnel - - -Viaduct over Nagykovácsi út 11.2 Hűvösvölgy -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Hungarian State Railways (Hungarian: Magyar Államvasutak or MÁV) is the Hungarian national railway company, with divisions "MÁV START Zrt." (passenger transport), "MÁV-Gépészet Zrt." (maintenance) and "MÁV-Trakció Zrt.". The "MÁV Cargo Zrt" (freight transport) is sold for ÖBB. The head office is in Budapest. In Budapest, the three main railway stations are the Eastern (Keleti), Western (Nyugati) and Southern (Déli), with other outlying stations like Kelenföld. Of the three, the Southern is the most modern but the Eastern and the Western are more decorative and architecturally interesting. Other important railway stations countrywide include Szolnok (the most important railway intersection outside Budapest), Tiszai Railway Station in Miskolc and the stations of Pécs, Győr, Debrecen, Szeged and Székesfehérvár. The only city with an underground railway system is Budapest with its Metro. In Budapest there is also a suburban rail service in and around the city, operated under the name HÉV. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ More FrontCompVidsclips are regularly added to so don't forget to Like and Subscribe!
