Hungarian narrow gauge

There are several narrow gauge lines in Hungary of 760 mm and 600 mm gauge. They are mostly seasonal in operation. Mainly diesel operated. Some do run steam. A visit is worthwhile for relaxed atmosphere, ggod company, good wine, good food.

I have visited the Cosmoder system close to the Slovenian border. This is a working forestry railway as well a tourist operation, there are several branches of the main system and some excellent photographic opportunities.

Standard gauge throughout most of Africa is 3ft 6ins. Egypt, Sudan, through East Africa, Central Africa down into South Africa. Ecuador, New Zealand, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland all ran on 3ft 6inch gauge. By European standards it is all narrow gauge. To those of us who worked on these railways 3ft 6inch was standard. Europe ran on meter gauge and anything less than 3-6 was narrow gauge.

Exclamation Closures

The state owned system at Kecskemet is reported to be under threat of closure possibly in December but more than likely in 2007 unless the local authority takes over.
