Welcome to this rail photo page! If you're searching for a site with photos and information about every railway and locomotive class in Hungary, you've come the wrong place. I have only visited a few railroads of the country, but the photos I made there can be stunning. I like to get a railway known as much as I can, visit it many times to have the best pictures. My favourite lines are the forest branches in the Nógrád area, from Vác and Aszód to Balassagyarmat, the Balassagyarmat-Ipolytarnóc-Losoncz line and the now freight train-only branch from Diósjenö to Romhány. I don't really like mainlines but still you'll be able to find great photos of electric locomotives and suburban railcars in the Categories menu, or in the red section of the sidebar.
After many years of delayed manual extending I finally added an automatism to the English language gallery listing at benbe.hu. From now, the links and tasting photos are accessible as soon as a new gallery is compiled.
Please have a look at the new listing below! There can be quite a few albums you missed in the past. Don't forget that by compiling albums of a single topic I try to give you the full picture and just browsing through the locomotive classes might hide the most important details.

Rail transport, in a technical point of view, is extraordinarily interesting. Tiny details are as much full of sophisticated solutions as is the system if viewed from the perspective of an airplane.
It's entertaining, as anyone looking at these machines and buildings, one will be aware that the limits of human capabilities have yet again pushed a bit further, new challanges have been beaten by the smelters creating newer, stronger rails and steel for longer bridges, by the engineers designing faster and more environmentally friendly means for transport, by the visioners of great projects to get through unclimbable mountains. Every day, another mountain previously thought to be unclimbable is climbed.
If you like looking at these achievements, these designs, the photographer may see even more in it: harmony between the elements. That's the way of creating the best railway photographs: not only to copy the view into a black box, but to add all those feelings that the train, the railwaymen and the surroundings brought out from those who were there to experience. This plus can, I believe, be found in some of my photographs. I hope it's worth looking at, and it will bring you out with your own equipment, to push one again on the boundaries of railway photography!
Due to the cheapness of digital cameras (and particularly the quality SLR cameras recently), transportation photography becomes more and more popular. It can be linked to travel, hiking, numerous outdoor activites, so someway or another everyone in the family can find his or her interest. This site focuses on presenting a railway and it's surroundings so that the visitor can learn more than just what locomotives pull trains there. Landscape and panoramic photos help you imagine the place. Portraits and artistic impressions, as well as creative railway photography will paint a broader picture for your virtual visit.
