Timeless Hungary
MAV Nohab 001 arrives at Balatonfufzo station with a Tekerego service to Budapest. For two days several trains on the scenic Balaton northern line ran with heritage locomotives including this Nohab and two M62 class diesels. The clearly American rooted Nohabs were an anomaly in Eastern Europe which was largely forced to buy power from other Soviet block nations. MAV purchased 20 of these EMD diesels built under liscense by Nohab in Sweden and would have liked more but due to the political conditions of the time were forced to buy less reliable Soviet built M62s.
