The M62 308 at Őrihodos (Hodoš, Slovenia)
(Őrségi Vasút)
The day before we'd seen the locomotive heading to Celldömölk, it returned to Hodoš at night and went back to Hungary again in the morning. Though the Sergeis are powerful and heavy locomotives, and the gray-top versions are fitted with new Caterpillar or MTU (M62 301, 303, 304) engines, the heavy freight train is still problematic for it. The train couldn't reach more than about 30 km/h uphill to Bajánsenye. But the track is going downhill all the way after Őriszentpéter.
