The Russian-built DMU type 6341 of MÁV has a number of different nicknames among railway fans. For those who have ever seen the underground of Budapest, this picture gives an impression why it is called `Metro of the Puszta'. (Here, Puszta is a Hungarian word, sometimes also used in German (Pussta), referring to the `vast grassy area of plains' in Hungary. Actually, the Hortobágy National Park -- The Puszta is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.) This one is moving away from both Bagimajor and the photographer. 6 September 2006, 13:41. Larger photo.

Rudabánya is the last station on line 95 from Kazincbarcika. The station building is abandoned, it is in miserable condition.
