It is Hungary's primate city with 1.7 million inhabitants and its greater metro area has a population of about 3.3 million, representing one-third of the country's population and producing more than 40% of the country's economic output. Budapest is the political, economic, and cultural center of the country, among the ten largest cities in the European Union and the second largest urban area in Central and Eastern Europe. Budapest stands on the River Danube and is strategically located at the center of the Pannonian Basin, lying on ancient trade routes linking the hills of Transdanubia with the Great Plain. <br /> Budapest is a global city, consistently ranked among the 50 most important cities in the world and is among the 35 most liveable cities in the world. <br /> <br /> Population: 1,685,000 (2025)<br /> Elevation: 96–529 m<br /> <br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Budapest</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/vasilgochev/">aurelianlens</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/vasilgochev/55632590086/" title="Margaret Bridge at Sunset | Budapest, Hungary"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55632590086_5c097e55e3_m.jpg" width="240" height="108" alt="Margaret Bridge at Sunset | Budapest, Hungary" /></a></p> <p>The Danube turns gold over Margaret Bridge, the yellow trams keep rolling and the whole city slows down for a few minutes.

A historic locomotive generation change officially took place on the Budapest–Székesfehérvár–Szombathely/Zalaegerszeg main line. As of November 2nd, the timetable has been fully restructured, meaning that all &quot;Bakony&quot; and &quot;Göcsej&quot; InterCity trains are now officially scheduled to be hauled exclusively by modern, leased Siemens Vectron electric locomotives.<br /> For decades, this line was dominated by the iconic but aging class V43 and occasionally class V63 locomotives. While the transition brings a massive upgrade in reliability, acceleration, and stabilization of the tight domestic timetable, the classic workhorses didn't leave without a proper farewell.<br /> In a beautifully symbolic conclusion to the old era, November 1st marked the very last day of the classic locomotive turns. The final turns were fittingly operated by two legendary machines: V43 1001 and the heavy haul V63 056.<br /> Even though the era of daily classic traction is over on these InterCity trains and the Vectrons are fully in charge, the old legends will remain on standby. Due to a tight Vectron fleet size, whenever a modern unit faces a technical failure, a classic locos might still step in to save the day.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/14478170@N06/">fvib&#039;r</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/14478170@N06/55632130173/" title="Budapest.
