European Tribune

Display:
From a crap series I made one weekend last autumn, on a walk along the line I commute on daily:

A BDVmot electric multiple unit (EMU), with exceptionally few graffiti (these are the off-peak-hour main workhorses, and in the worst shape inside); with a mini wind turbine and the backdrop of the Naszály mountain:

A V43 loco pulls a zoned train ( = non-stop from Budapest until the first major town, local fom there) with refurbished coaches (plus: graffiti resistant, minus: 'ergonomic' seats that cause back-ache for people above 175cm and doors/section walls that resonate loudly...):

Another V43 pulls an express with Slovakian cars:

A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.

One autumn earlier, my train to Berlin emerges from the morning mist in station Štúrovo/Slovakia (loco is Slovakian, cars Hungarian state railways, but the latter made in Spain):
