Hungary's Children's Railway

[Tokkyu40]

Here's an eleven kilometer tourist line run almost entirely by children between the ages of 10 and 14 years of age.

This is not a kid's ride in the local park; it's an actual working passenger line. Very cool.

hmmm yet another good reason to go to Hungary

I think there was something like that in the former east Germany as well. Run by the FDJ Pioniere the Socialist Workers' Party's youth organisation.

Come to think of it, the East German one was a scaled down version of the real thing, but like this one in Hungary run according to the regulations of the real thing.
