Öskü, December 29, 2020 11:15 - The Árpád-era round church of Öskü looks like a mushroom house from Smurf Village up close, but smurfs are not the ones running circles around it. Although Szili 1261 is originally based in Békéscsaba, it arrived in Transdanubia mid-December after doing passenger runs near Miskolc in October and in the Szolnok area in November. The traditional 1000 series Szili locomotives are still what’s determining the image of the Bakony main line for now, but with the expected speed increase between Budapest and Székesfehérvár, and the purchase of new locomotives it could all change in a few years.
