Remarks & Notes |
Fast passenger train from Somoskõújfalu to Budapest. Due to a new rule MÁV signs in the front of the engines have to be changed for H-MÁVTR (UIC-International Union of Railways only gives permission for 5 characters). H means Hungary, TR means Trakció (traction). This is necessary because of MÁV's recent privatization, based on which three subsidiary companies have been established. MÁV-START (is the passenger division, which owns carriages; the EMUs and DMUs) MÁV-Cargo (which owns the freight cars and operates freight traffic) MÁV-Gépészet (Engineering) for servicing and repairing, and MÁV-Traction (which owns the locomotives). MÁV-START and MÁV-Cargo rent locomotives from MÁV-Traction to haul their trains. |
