Hungarian rail company MÁV set a new record with its nearly 12-kilometre-long Children’s Railway. The railway line has been declared the world’s longest railway of its kind by the Guinness World Records.
The railway line is unique because, except for train drivers, all trains are served and the traffic is managed by children aged 10-14, under adult supervision. The record verification and certification process began in 2014, and the Record Holder Certificate arrived in Budapest this month.
The first section of the narrow-gauge railway connecting Széchenyi Hill and Hűvösvölgy stations was inaugurated in 1948.
