<p>Location: Istvántelek Train Yard (The "Red Star Train Graveyard"), Budapest, Hungary<br />
Date Found: 2017<br />
<br />
Description:<br />
Caught in a light snowfall, this decaying beast of the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) represents a fascinating era of experimental industrial engineering. This is a rail-mounted jet-engine snow blower, a machine designed to clear railway points and tracks not by shoveling, but by blasting them with the high-velocity, high-heat exhaust of a fighter jet engine.<br />
<br />
These machines typically utilized a Klimov VK-1 jet engine (the same engine used in the MiG-15 and MiG-17 fighters) mounted on a heavy-duty rail chassis. The yellow tank behind the engine cabin housed the massive amounts of kerosene/fuel required to keep the turbine spinning. While incredibly effective at melting ice instantly, they were notoriously loud and expensive to operate, leading to their eventual abandonment in favor of more traditional rotary plows.<br />
<br />
📜 History & Information<br />
Origin: Developed during the Cold War era (primarily the 1960s and 70s), these "thermal" snow clearers were common in the Eastern Bloc, including Hungary and the USSR.<br />
<br />
The Engine: Most models used retired Soviet military engines. The Klimov VK-1 was favored for its simplicity and reliability.<br />
<br />
Function: The jet nozzle at the front could be angled to blast snow off the tracks or melt ice out of frozen switches (points) that would otherwise jam.<br />
<br />
The Location: The Istvántelek Railway Workshop is one of Budapest's most famous "urban exploration" spots. Known as the Red Star Train Graveyard, it houses over 100 years of locomotive history, including rare steam engines and pre-WWII carriages, slowly being reclaimed by nature.<br />
<br />
Status (2017): At the time of this discovery, the vehicle sat outdoors near the "Big Hall," rusted and non-functional, serving as a relic of Hungary's industrial past.<br />

<p>We sat on a bench on the Buda side of the River Danube for a few moments and took photos of the Parliament Building, will we started to feel a bit chilly (for the first time in Budapest). We were pleased to see this fine building lit up so beautifully.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/locosteve/55104942548/" title="The Iron Ghost: Abandoned MÁV Class 301-006 | Istvantelek Red Star Graveyard"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/31337/55104942548_bc98c2aa74_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="The Iron Ghost: Abandoned MÁV Class 301-006 | Istvantelek Red Star Graveyard" /></a></p>

<p>A cinematic look at the rusted remains of the MÁV Class 301-006 steam locomotive. Captured at the Istvantelek Railway Workshop in Budapest, Hungary, this "Red Star Graveyard" is a surreal landscape where nature is slowly reclaiming the giants of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
The golden hour light highlights the deep oxidation and skeletal structure of this once-mighty express engine, resting outside the decaying workshop sheds where it was once maintained.<br />
<br />
History<br />
The MÁV Class 301 was a heavy express steam locomotive produced by the Hungarian State Railway Workshops (MÁVAG) between 1911 and 1914.<br />
<br />
Engineering Marvel: At the time of its debut, it was one of the most powerful and advanced locomotives in Europe, featuring a 4-6-2 "Pacific" wheel arrangement.<br />
<br />
The Survivor: Out of only 22 units ever built, the 301-006 seen here is one of the last surviving examples.<br />
<br />
The Location: Istvantelek served as the primary repair shop for the Hungarian railways. Following the fall of the Iron Curtain, many locomotives were left behind. Because they are technically part of the national museum's collection but lack the funding for restoration, they sit in a "purgatory" state—sheltered from some elements but slowly succumbing to time.<br />
