20Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with trains. Three years ago, my family and I were visiting Hungary when we heard about the Children’s Railway in Budapest. My father knew about my interest, so when he heard that children do most of the jobs, he booked tickets for us on the railway.The Children’s Railway has been a landmark in Budapest for over 60 years. People first had the idea for a children’s railway in 1947. At first, there were some people who were against the idea. They thought that children wouldn’t know how to operate something as complicated as a railway. In spite of this, the Children’s Railway went ahead and the first three kilometres were opened in 1948.The train takes passengers on an 11-kilometre journey through the beautiful Hungarian countryside and it also goes by many tourist attractions. At first, it was strange to see the children in their railway uniforms carrying out jobs that are usually done by adults, but we soon got used to it. Children usually work two days a month at the Children’s Railway. They don’t actually drive the trains, but they sell tickets and give passengers information on the platform and on the train. They also help to control train traffic, so that there are no accidents. Of course, adults supervise the work and help the workers if necessary.It’s not easy to get a job on the Children’s Railway. Before they can work, the children study for four months and they must pass a difficult exam. Children need to take off two days from school every month, so only students with excellent marks can apply to work on the railway. When they have finished their lessons, they know all about trains and operating a train service.Watching these children operate the train service was exciting, but I couldn’t help feeling just a little jealous.
