Last month I again visited the Szob–Márianosztra narrow-gauge railway (see A narrow gauge railway in the summer three years ago). I found that it is operated as economically as possible. For example, gauge-clearing is done by the driver, hanging from the locomotive door and tearing at the branches with a gloved hand...

Here is the train at end station Márianosztra:

The building in the background is not some monastery but a famous prison. Before catching the train back, I had to circle it on a hellish round trip around the valley in 35°C: the prison now has a lot of agricultural lands for the inmates, all with barbed wire around it.
