2009.12.25 (kisvasut.hu)



Two C50 locomotives got a full reconstuction in Budapest. The first unit has arrived at depot Pörböly on 22.12.2009. The shape of the engine became absolutely different, it got a new driver cab at the end of the body. The first reactions of the enthusiastics are negative, they usually said this loco is a little green monster.
