The M44 501 at Tolmács
(Duna-Ipolyvölgyi HÉV)
Oh, I forgot to tell you why they’ve been late. It took some time to bring so many cars to Diósjenő.
They turned twice between Balassagyarmat and Drégelypalánk with the Bobó, while an M43 Dacia took some other freight cars there. Once ready, all the cars were added to one train, and the M44 and M43 pulled up the whole train with joint power to Nagyoroszi on a heavy slope. Once down again at Diósjenő, one locomotive was enough, and the crew choose the M44 Bobó for it’s greater power.
