Railway in Szentendrei Néprajzi Múzeum

Railway in Szentendrei Néprajzi Múzeum, Railway museum in Szentendre, Hungary

The Skanzen Vasút is a 2,115-metre standard-gauge museum railway opened on 8 April 2009 at the Szentendre Open-Air Ethnographic Museum. Its rails are 34.5 kg/m 'c' profile sections made in the mid-1930s, relaid from the Tiszatenyő–Hódmezővásárhely–Makó line during a 2008 renovation. The starting station copies the Mezőhegyes railway station building.

The museum documents Hungary's railway transportation history from its origins through different periods and shows how rail technology developed over time. The collection includes vehicles from various decades that represent key stages in Hungarian railway development.

The line presents the local-interest railways (vicinálisok) built in large numbers around 1900; the starting station copies the Mezőhegyes station building. Since September 2021 the museum trains volunteers free of charge as traffic controllers, switch operators, train escorts, ticket inspectors, shunters, barrier keepers and signalmen, and they may also become drivers, serving at chosen times.

The railway links the museum's regional units across a site of more than 60 hectares, with six stops from Main Entrance to Néprajzi látványtár. Trains run on a published timetable, so check the Skanzen Vonat section of the museum's official website before setting out.

The line's rails were made in the mid-1930s and came from the Tiszatenyő–Hódmezővásárhely–Makó branch line during a 2008 track renewal, lifted from around the former Jaksorparti tanyák and Kunszentmárton érpart stops. At 34.5 kg/m they were mainline-grade, heavier than the 23.6 kg/m rails local-interest railways usually laid.
