It is the oldest electrified railway in mainland Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It runs 4.4 km primarily under Andrássy út, utilizing a unique &quot;cut-and-cover&quot; design necessitated by the era's aesthetic restrictions on surface transport. Today, the 11-station line still employs specialized Ganz MFAV rolling stock with a low profile to navigate its shallow tunnels.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/attilastefan/">attila.stefan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/attilastefan/55234778056/" title="Kyra ...
