Czech steam locomotive 498 022 working the Royal Hungarian Express between Bratislava and Kuty. It ran in parallel with 475 179 hauling a special returning from Bratislava to Praha for over 50 kms, each train overtaking the other in turn, so the participants could witness the steam locos operating at close quarters.

  • Really cool!

  • Excellent video! The three-cylinder mechanism is always very spectacular, especially in motion. You were very lucky to be there and catch this on film. Congratulations!

  • Beautiful engineering, beautiful locomotive. And good fun to watch the valve gear and lubricator in action. Best looking European steam locomotive ever constructed! Though I like Hungarian 424 Class too..

  • This overtake was a great opportunity to see a live action steam engine on the move.
