Spring is in the air, and soon it will be the ideal time of year to take a ride on the Rasender Roland, a historic narrow-gauge steam railway on the island of Rügen in northern Germany. 💚
Details:
• Gauge: 750 mm
• In operation since 1895
• Runs mainly between Putbus, Binz, Sellin, Baabe, and Göhren
• Totally worth it, but be sure to protect your eyes with glasses or sunglasses!

The "Red Star" train, left rusting in an old train repair depot in Hungary. It was removed a few years ago; who took it and where it is now remains a mystery!

It is a MAV-424 Series steam locomotive, a well-known and nostalgic Hungarian machine. These double-chimneyed beasts were often nicknamed “The Buffalo”.

This specific engine was built in the 1940s. Some sources suggest it was in service until 1991.
