Geocache Description:


🚆 GödöllƑi HÉV – A rĂ©gi Ăștvonal nyomĂĄban

📍 HelyszĂ­n: Keleti pĂĄlyaudvar → Örs vezĂ©r tere, Budapest
đŸ•°ïž IdƑutazĂĄs: A mĂșlt nyomai 1970 elƑttrƑl

Aki a HungĂĄria körĂșttĂłl kifelĂ© halad a Kerepesi Ășton, Ă©szreveheti a furcsa ĂŒressĂ©get az Ășt bal szĂ©lĂ©n: a hĂĄzak elƑtt minden gyanĂșsan levegƑs, az autĂłk pedig szokatlan tĂĄvolsĂĄgban haladnak. 🚗💹

A vasĂști hĂ­don tĂșl egy-egy vĂĄgĂĄny bukkan elƑ, majd a fƱben tovĂĄbbi sĂ­nek csillannak meg – mindez a rĂ©gi gödöllƑi HÉV maradvĂĄnya.

đŸ—ïž A vĂĄltozĂĄsok nyomai

  • Baross tĂ©r ĂĄtrendezĂ©se: Ekkor szƱnt meg a közvetlen kapcsolat.
  • 1970: A Kelet-nyugati metrĂł elsƑ szakaszĂĄnak megnyitĂĄsa utĂĄn a HÉV visszavĂĄgva az Örs vezĂ©r terĂ©ig közlekedett. A rĂĄkosszentmihĂĄlyi vonal ekkor megszƱnt.

🔧 Az utolsó nyomok

Az Albertirsai Ășt utĂĄn a vĂĄgĂĄnyt ĂŒzemi összeköttetĂ©si cĂ©llal hagytĂĄk meg: a gödöllƑi vonalcsoport a törökƑri teherpĂĄlyaudvaron keresztĂŒl kapcsolĂłdik a MÁV hĂĄlĂłzatĂĄhoz.

  • A vontatĂłvĂĄgĂĄny egynyomĂș, rövid szakaszon mindkĂ©t sĂ­n megmaradt.
  • A felsƑvezetĂ©k a ’90-es Ă©vek mĂĄsodik felĂ©ben, vagy 2000-ben kerĂŒlt eltĂĄvolĂ­tĂĄsra.
  • KorĂĄbban villanymozdonyok, ma dĂ­zelmozdonyok vontatjĂĄk a javĂ­tĂĄsra vitt zöld HÉV-kocsikat. âšĄâžĄïžđŸ›€ïž

👀 ÉrdekessĂ©g

A rĂ©gi HÉV vonalvezetĂ©se nem teljesen egyezik a mai vonalĂ©val, mert a Kerepesi Ășt szĂ©lesĂ­tĂ©sĂ©hez a metrĂłvonalat tĂĄvolabb helyeztĂ©k. Ez a terĂŒlet tehĂĄt egy nyomvadĂĄszoknak kĂŒlönleges idƑutazĂĄs a budapesti közlekedĂ©s mĂșltjĂĄba. đŸ•”ïžâ€â™‚ïž

🍀 Sok szĂ©p kalandot kĂ­vĂĄnok!


🚆 GödöllƑ HÉV – Traces of the Old Route

📍 Location: Keleti Railway Station → Örs vezĂ©r tere, Budapest
đŸ•°ïž Time Travel: Traces from before 1970

If you head outward from the Hungária Boulevard along Kerepesi Road, you may notice a strange emptiness on the left side of the street: the area in front of the houses looks unusually open, and cars drive at a wider distance. 🚗💹

Beyond the railway bridge, a track suddenly appears, and further rails glint in the grass – these are the remnants of the old GödöllƑ HÉV.

đŸ—ïž Traces of Changes

  • Baross Square reorganization: This ended the direct connection.
  • 1970: When the first section of the East-West Metro opened, the HÉV was cut back to Örs vezĂ©r tere. The RĂĄkosszentmihĂĄly line was discontinued.

🔧 The Last Remnants

After Albertirsai Road, the track was kept for operational connection: the GödöllƑ line connects to the MÁV network via the TörökƑr freight yard.

  • The connecting track is single-track, with both rails preserved only on a short section.
  • The overhead line was removed in the late 1990s or around 2000.
  • Previously electric locomotives, today diesel locomotives tow the green HÉV cars for maintenance. âšĄâžĄïžđŸ›€ïž

👀 Interesting Facts

The old HÉV route does not fully match the current line, as the metro line was moved away when Kerepesi Road was widened. This area is thus a special time-travel adventure for geocachers into the history of Budapest’s transport. đŸ•”ïžâ€â™‚ïž

🍀 Wishing you many great adventures!
