Zairemekvesat: Children's Railway Service

A year ago, while reading the news on CNN News, I came across an interesting report. The report was written around a railway. A railway that is uniquely beautiful, unique. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the railway service, a report was published in the world's leading newspapers. Due to the interest, some more information about the railway service is known through Google search. What a beautiful railway people have built in the heart of the world! All the beautiful railways are spread all over the world through the green forest surrounded by hills and mountains! However, knowing about this railway service, it seems that this railway service is really extraordinary and has unique features. Readers, let's find out today about this special railway service.

Budapest is the capital of Hungary, a country in Eastern Europe. A small railway called Gyermekvasut has been built in the heart of the hill-forest of the Buda-Hills, a mountainous area of Budapest. That railway is only 11 kilometers long. The small red-blue-white shiny small trains that run here have two types of bogies inside them, ordinary and first class. Ordinary carriages have beautiful wooden benches for sitting, and first class carriages have soft seats of green velvet. Beautiful decoration in all carriages. And even better than the trains are the people who are involved in managing them.

Who do they know? Budapest's 10-14 year olds are young, schoolgirls, some nice kids. In terms of age, children are those who are involved in most of the work of running a railway. Imagine that! When the little children in black and white uniforms rush to work on the railroad, act like adults, and become obsessed with forgetfulness, then this Zairemekvesat railway has become the most attractive railway in the world.

The Hungarian word 'Zairemekvesat' sounds bad, but its English translation is beautiful - 'The Children's Railway'; In Bengal - Children's Railway. The Zairemekvesat Railway is often called the 'Greatest Child toy Train of the World'. But that is not entirely true. Because, even if children work, this railway is not a toy type at all. Rather, its service is exactly like all other railways. Strict rules are followed in managing it. The rules and regulations that have to be followed in other railways in Hungary, the same rules have to be followed in Zairemekvesat.

Not just toys, the Zairemekvesat railway is by no means very different from the real railway. Like all other railway services in the world, this railway also carries regular passengers. Employees are also needed to control this railway. People are needed for various jobs including selling tickets, giving train signals, working as a station master, checking tickets. The only difference is in human age and size. Adults do these jobs on other railways, and younger children work on Zairemekvesat.

That's good! Although the children do all the work like ticket sales, signal control, ticket checking, to avoid any kind of accident, only adults are employed as drivers to run the train and as engineers for supervision, but only adults are employed in ZairemekVesat. Moreover, the children who are hired to perform the work of the railways are selected on the basis of merit, trained and trained so that they can serve the passengers properly. Kids are responsible too, they do their job properly. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. In short, the Zairemekvesat Railway is run smoothly by many children.

The history of Zairemekvesat is 70 years old. Construction of the railway began in 1948, during the Soviet era of communist rule in the Soviet Union, when Hungary was under Soviet control. Construction was completed in 1950. Although the name was different in the beginning, this railway service has been run by children from the very beginning. The purpose of running this railway was to teach boys and girls teamwork and sense of responsibility, education of communists and manual labor at an early age. This small railway of small people has survived from the time of that communist regime till today. Children are still taught teamwork and a sense of responsibility, but the policy of communist policy has been left out since Hungary became independent.

The Zairemekvesat Railway is open almost all year round. Only Mondays through September are closed. Trains run from 9 am to 5 pm in winter and from 9 am to 7 pm in summer. It takes 40-50 minutes for a train to cover the entire Zairemekvesat railway line. Train tickets cost hundreds of francs (Hungarian currency) or 2-3. The adventurers get more entertainment than money if they get on the train of Zairemekvesat by spending 2-3 dollars.

These trains take you around Elizabeth Lookout, the highest point in Budapest, overlooking the entire city of Budapest. Not only because of the children, but also because of its natural beauty. After boarding the train, the passengers can take the whole route by train if they wish, and if they wish, they can go down in the middle of the hill-forest in the hope of an exciting adventure.

In addition to train travel, there is a museum at this railway station as an additional attraction. The museum houses antiquities, tools, and ironware from the communist era, which still bear the marks of communist rule in Hungary. There are various items kept in the museum for the entertainment of children.

The Zairemekvesat Railway is considered as one of the most attractive tourist spots for tourists visiting Hungary. On the train, when the train is actually screaming, the platform trembles, a serious-faced kid signals the train to come, waving a colorful flag, a big boy at the ticket counter, a little boy giving tickets to passengers, or small ticket checkers to big passengers. Checking seriously, the little railway surrounded by hills and forests in Budapest became much more spectacular.
