Long passenger train arrives at Kecskemet KK

My first picture of a Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) narrow gauge train: Mk48 with four passenger coaches arrives from the puszta back to town. This location is just before the arrival at Kecskemét KK narrow gauge station.

I visited Hungary on June 5th 1993 as part of an Interrail tour to several narrow gauge railways in Central and Eastern Europe. Remember that by then, it was just 3.5 years after the Berlin Wall had been torn down. See my album:

Unfortunately here, the sun was straight from behind the train so it is not my best photo of this lovely little railway line. In later years I would return here often. But never again did I see a train with four coaches like this one. Ridership declined after the fall of socialism and eventually the railway closed.
