This "Red Star Train Graveyard" was an amazing find during my month long stay in Budapest. I don't know much about it, other than what I could dig up on Google, which is some of the cars that can be found here possibly transported prisoners to Auschwitz during the Holocaust. Likely none of the cars displayed in this picture did, as they all just seemed like normal passenger cars, but several others littered across this rusty yard looked like they could have been.

Gaining entry into this place is not easy, and requires proper paperwork to be filled out, or jumping a wall with barbed wire and hoping for the best.
