HARGITA - MAV CLASS M440, 1940s, from the Hungarian Railway Museum (Magyar Vasúttörténeti Park) in Budapest.
It was built by the Hungarian engineering firm Ganz & Co. in Budapest, and it was powered by a V12 Ganz-Jendrassik diesel engine, so the train could reach speeds of up to 120 km/h. The Hargita served both domestic and international express routes and was also used as a special government train.
