FTF - Balaton 1
The time of year for fake trains around Balaton is nearly upon us. Every summer for two weekends MAV replaces the normal trains on their Balaton with historic consists. Its naturally a circus with fans from all over Europe but I really enjoy it still. For such an experience most other places you would have to pay a hefty fee, here its all still organized by the railways for no extra charge. In a few years the Balaton north line should be fully electrified, and that will be the end of it.
In 2021 I made a stopover in Balaton along with Thomas Kabisch on our way to Romania. Here we see M62-194 departing Badacsonytomaj in a cloud of typical M62 smoke
