The Istvántelek Train Yard, aka red star train graveyard, was once one of the most important railway repair workshops in Hungary. It was built in Budapest between 1902 and 1905, going on to serve as a sprawling, modern repair facility for the city's trains. Here it is possible to find some MAV class 301 locomotive that was the star of transportation from 1911 to 1914 and the huge and powerful MAV class 424 locomotive another engineering marvel that Hungary produced weighting an impressive 137 tons. More than 100 locomotives and railcars are here and around it in the fields rusting. The colossal locomotives were brought to this place to be repaired and transported to the Budapest Railway Museum but the museum does not have money for their restoration.
