Talk:Hungarian State Railways

Statistics
I don't know whether it should be mentioned here but as far as I know, neither of the narrow-gauge railways are operated by MÁV; they belong to other, local companies like the LÁEV operating the forest railway in Lillafüred. (BTW where is this broad-gauge railway? I've never heard of it.) – Alensha 寫 词 20:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, most of them are operated by State Forest companies or local non-profit organisations. Zello 07:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

At the time being the Nyíregyháza-Balsa/Dombrád, the Kecskemét KK-Kiskunmajsa/Kiskörös and the Balatonfenyves-Somogyszentpál systems are still operated by MÁV but the intention is to hand them over to a regional operator, possibly as soon as 2009.

Material
When I look at the pictures of the trains in this article, I get the impression that MAV mostly has modern and comfortable trains, while my experience is that these trains can mainly be found between Austria and Budapest and around the big lake where most of the tourists go. When I was in Hungry this summer I went to the east and the southwest of the country and traveled mostly by train. The train that took me from Kecskemet to Nagykanitza was one as shown on this picture here, with "modern" facilities like electrical light on dynamo and windows that could be opened and closed by the passengers. The outside doors don't close when the train took off unless you close them yourself. Trains like these drive all over the country, they have some fancy new modern trains but most of the trains in Hungry would actually not even be allowed anymore in Western Europe since they do not meet the security regulations.

Hello

Can you possibly help me? My great grandfather Samuel Zanvil Schanz lived in Munkacs Hungary from 1885 until 1903. A few family members told me that he ran the Munkacs Hungary train station as their station master in the period from 1885 until 1903. Can someone tell me where employment records of employees of the Hungarian railroad exist?

Also I have a picture of the current train station of Mukachevo Ukraine which used to exist as the city of Munkacs Hungary before Hungary lost Munkacs and other cities to Russia in WW I. Can someone tell me if the train station of Mukacehevo Ukraine got built way after 1900 or by some miracle this train station existed as the train station of Munkacs Hungary of the years 1885 until about 1910?

You can email me at dbaer@hoflink.com

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.52.110.123 (talk) 08:14, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Sources?
The entire article relies on only five sources of which only one is an actual book. I doubt that all the information given can be found in just this book, maybe some parts of the article are original research. Richard Leemann (talk) 20:24, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
