This railway ran between Felsopeteny and the MAV main line railway station at Bank. A distance of approx 5km. These pictures were taken by Rudolf Tyller. |
Clay was transported in skips and transferred to standard gauge wagons at Bank. |
The train is seen at Bank again. The railway had 2 C50 diesel locos for the line work. |

On this visit trains were only going as far as an unloading point 0.25km away from the mine. |
A view away from the loading point at Felsopeteny, with the loco sheds directly ahead. The main line curved round to the left. |
The spare C50 was in the shed. A third C50 was present but was just a rusting hulk. |
