From Szolnok there is a rail connection to Budapest. The Szolnok - Záhony line has become known for the so-called Fekete vonat (black train) which brings labourers to the capital and has been the scene of fights.[1]
The initial 98-km segment between Pest and Szolnok was built by the Magyar Középponti Vasút (Central Hungarian Railway) and opened on 1 September 1847.[2][3] Construction was interrupted by the 1848-49 war of independence and was resumed by the newly formed Tiszavidéki Vasút (Theiss Railway). The Szolnok - Debrecen segment opened on 25 November 1857 and the segment from Debrecen to Miskolc via Nyíregyháza on 24 May 1859.[2] Since January 1855, the ownership and operations-right of the section Budapest–Szolnok had been obtained by the Imperial Royal Privileged Austrian State Railway Company (StEG) in the association with constructing the section Szeged–Temesvár.[4]
