Mazsola mozdony

The sculptural steamer of the county seat of Nógrád received one of the industrial Mazsolas of the former steelworks as his partner. An integral part of the stop in the center of Salgótarján has been the sculptural steamer with track number 377,210, renovated in September 2014. The reversing steam locomotive, manufactured in 1895, served in the steel plant of the former Salgótarján Metallurgical Plant for decades from the middle of the last century. In May 2016, the stop was enriched with another railway historical monument, a diesel-mechanic Rába locomotive: the industrial Mazsola with track number A21 052 was bought by the Béla Dornyay Museum on a civil initiative, then on the platform The small diesel was made by Rába in 1963 for the flat glass factory in Salgótarján. The locomotive was transferred to the steelworks in the late 1970s, where it worked with its A21 043 companion until the plant closed and then shut down operationally. Nothing proves its operability better than the fact that the Raisins reached the Salgótarján stop from the factory area on their own, with the Hatvan – Somoskőújfalu line No. 81 running on one side of the single platform and the factory industrial track on the other side. Today, only scrap iron is loaded in the factory area, the reversal goes from Hatvan on Tuesdays and Thursdays, mostly Dácsia, rarely Csörgő, Púpos or Sergei. The two-axle, initially M030, from 1957 M033 series reversing diesel locomotives were built by the Hungarian Wagon and Machine Factory in Győr as one of the first types of diesel locomotives appearing on the Hungarian railway in 1955. MÁV purchased a total of thirty-four - twenty-four mechanical (M28 1001-1024) and ten hydraulic (M28 2001-2010) power transmission machines as the M28 series, and nearly one hundred copies intended for industrial railway service were included in the A21 series. The eight-meter-three-centimeter-long, nineteen-ton service locomotives were initially built on a 95.5-kilowatt Ganz VI. It was powered by a JaR 135 diesel engine and was later given a more powerful 147 kilowatt Rába – MAN D2156 HM6 powerplant. Tiny machines were favored in many places because of their simpler operation compared to steamers, for example, on the Cegléd – Hantháza line, which was shut down at the beginning of 1978, MÁV used them for some time to tow passenger trains. Of the nearly 28-year-old M28s - the 288 series according to the current numbering - there are hardly any working copies left: the 288 103 at the Székesfehérvár turntable, the 288 104 at Kiskunhalas, the 288 208 at the Ferencváros heating house, and the 206 at Dombóvár. and 209, 288 210 in Nagykanizsa, 288 112 in Szeged, 288 205 in Pécs, and the very first, M28 1001 Raisins, spend their days in the Hungarian Railway History Park. Stopped Raisins are located in Békéscsaba (288 105), Debrecen (288 114) and Miskolc (288 122). Slightly more Raisins still work at the industrial railways.
