First Prolan Railway Man and Family Day

2018.07.25

In connection with the national Railway Man day celebrated at the second Sunday of July, we organized the first Prolan Railway Man and Family Day in the Railway History Park. Our company also wants to strengthen its relationship with the large family of railway man and to express its commitment to create a modern and cost-effective railway.

In our tradition-building event, more than two hundred people participated in various programs, some of which were unique and special thanks to the venue where it was organized. During a guided tour our guests can view a railcar named Csajka, which was made in the sixties, it has no tires and steering wheel, and was responsible for providing transportation to track supervision personnel and senior managers in the region of railway directorate of Budapest.

Hand cars was tried by many on a track of about 400 meters and it was also popular to use the railway turntable, traveling on the bridge of the railway turntable let people know how the railway turntable moved the locomotives from one track to another. The steam locomotives exhibited in a semicircle were impressive, of which the oldest was made in 1882.

The lilliput railway line was popular among children and adults alike, which travels almost a kilometer, and runs through a tunnel and the smallest railway bridge of Hungary. The attraction of the garden railway is to model faithfully the operation of the real railroad, with miniature traffic signals in the crossroads, so the rules of railway are valid in the park, and pedestrians have to stop when the train comes.

Visitors tired of the tour are waited with a massage on the Relax island, and the smallest ones were entertained by craftsmanship, face-painting and balloons clown. The bigger ones could try their skills and strength on a trampoline, rodeo bull or ninja track. Those with stronger nerves could try the nerve-wracking game.

Guests hiding in tents, under tables and garden pavilions from the summer rain which arrived without registration and check-in enjoyed their delicious dinner in an alternative way but with pleasure, and even the air was refreshed a bit. With the stop of the rain, the garden train transported the passengers again without any significant delay, according to the usual schedule.
