A Russian Train in Hungary?! Class 416 Diesel Ride to Dabas

Join me on a fascinating ride from Budapest Nyugati to Dabas aboard a Cold War-era relic: the Russian-built Class 416 DMU.

In this video, we explore a train that’s more than just a mode of transport—it’s a living chapter in Hungary’s complex history. From the grand iron halls of Nyugati Station to the quiet village of Dabas, this journey covers more than distance. Discover how this train came to Hungary as part of a debt repayment deal, learn about its Western-built engine and transmission, and experience the modest but enduring role it plays in daily commuter life.

Whether you're a train enthusiast, a history buff, or just someone who enjoys a unique travel experience, you're in for a curious and nostalgic ride.
