Lillafüred Logging Railway: 100 years and a little
The spectacular mountain railway shows off some new photos and also refers to some of the highlights of the network.

This year the Lillafüred Logging Railway is 100 years old, but a weekend visit to Miskolc and the Zemplén mountains was fun anyway. On the way there I stopped at Felsőtárkány and on the way back I took a lot of photos at Pálháza. All these are going to be shared here soon. In the meantime photos from near Hámori Lake are going to be shown of the LÁEV main line as all other sections had been thoroughly photographed on previous trips and photo charters.

The line requests a rather high-stake position for itself in the list of starting dates for narrow-gauge railways:

The Szinva creek originally ended in Hámori Lake, the artificial waterfalls were built together with the Palotaszálló hotel.

In 2020 the LÁEV celebrated its 100th anniversary. The Children's Railway's LÁEV-origin multiple unit could have payed a visit but it didn't actually happen (this is a photo editing, done with artifacts on purpose). Still it would be nice to see the train on its original track even though it had been seriously mistreated on the line before and MÁV has more than paid for the train. Currently, on the Children's Railway Budapest, the whole train is operational except the post car .
The photo of course is a photo editing job made by GIMP and it contains some intentional flaws to give it away in case being stolen.
Lillafüred - the runaround sidings (loop) at the junction triangle (wye) of the Kerekhegy linePhotographed by: Takács Bence Captured at: 2020:10:03 13:31:58 Tags: Lillafüred 330 Bridges |
The line used to climb the hill a little bit to the left of these tracks. It is a lot more visible now after the reconstruction of 2018.

Originally the Kerekhegy line immediately started climbing after the triangle (wye) and this two-track storage loop was built level. Currently only this loop exists, the line to Kerekhegy was lifted in the eighties. The loop now connects to the triangle and the LÁEV main line with a lot more elaborate track connection.

The original deserved better . You can find this kind of locomotive at work among my pictures of narrow-gauge steam locomotives at St. Petersburg, Russia:
