Hungarian old steam locomotive type 301, built in c. 1911–1914 (Railway Main Workshop in Istvántelek, Budapest, 2008)
Various locomotives at the Vehicle Repair Plant of Miskolc-Tisza Railway Station (2018)

List of Hungarian (or used in Hungary) locomotives — The first railway line between Szolnok–Pest–Vác was built in Hungary in 1846. Steam locomotives have been used since then. Diesel and electric locomotives appeared in the first half of the 20th century.

Railway towing vehicles have often been renumbered or scrapped over the decades. (None of the many types survive.) The list below uses the 1911 to 2010 numbering system.

It is important to note that the list does not include all locomotives that have ever been used. The reason for this is that many narrow-gauge railways also existed (partly in Hungary), and there is a serious lack of data on the locomotives used there. The history of all narrow-gauge railways in Hungary has not yet been processed (2021).

Steam locomotives

The „DERÜ” in Hungarian Museum of Transport (2015)
  • Although the engineer brothers Gergely Nagy and Lajos Nagy made a working steam locomotive model, name „DERÜ” (in English serenity, conviviality) already in 1845–1847, they could not sell it later, and the production of large steam locomotives did not start from the type. (The model is now owned by the Hungarian Museum of Transport. In 1875, Ferenc Bognár added a mechanical vehicle.)[1] Hungarian steam locomotives were acquired from abroad (typically from Austrian factories) for a long time. Hungarian (MÁVAG) locomotive production did not start until the 1870s. Nevertheless, a significant number of foreign-produced locomotives still operate in the country.

Narrow gauge locomotives

For used narrow gauge locomotives, see: kisvasut.hu

The list above nevertheless includes steam locomotives designed for narrow gauge.

Interesting

  • Several steam locomotives are still in use on the Banovic Coal Mine line (Bosnia and Herzegovina) today. Several of them may be made in Hungary.[5] In Bosnia and Herzegovina, several other steam locomotives are used, which may also be of Hungarian origin (or the type used in the list above).[6]

Preserved steam locomotives

Although not all types of diesel and electric locomotives (no longer in use today) have been preserved, most of them are visible specimens. This is not the case for steam locomotives used in Hungary. There were a number of types (see list above) that were not left to fend for themselves. Of the (approximately) 140 types at that time – according to József Soltész, a train expert at the Museum of Transport (2009) – „ten thousand steam locomotives ran in the country, and now one hundred and fifty of them have been preserved.” Of these, barely 25 are operational.[7]

Other places of use

  • in use on normal gauge lines (steam locomotives only as a nostalgia)
  • in use on narrow gauge lines (steam locomotives only as a nostalgia, there is no electric locomotive in such a place)
