The 760-millimetre track of the museum railway belonging to the Museum of Transportation was built in 1972. The terminus station is at the Fertőboz railway station and is operated by the GYSEV railway company. The 3,600-metre museum railway is popular both with the young and with adult railway lovers. Nagycenk is situated in the western part of Hungary, in between Budapest and Vienna, near the Hungarian-Austrian border. There is a unique Baroque castle that is now a museum. The building complex consists of three wings. The museum, bringing back the atmosphere of the past, has two major exhibitions. The one on the ground floor tracks the history of the Szechenyi family, while the one on the first floor documents the wide-ranging industrial and political endeavors of Istvan Szechenyi. The museum train travels between Fertoboz and Nagycenk, and is in operation during the summer season.
