The  first Hungarian 'railway line' was completed nearly 20 years before the first steam-powered railway in Hungary (which was opened in 1846) on 15th August 1827, and ran from Pest to Kőbánya.

It was one of  the early horse-drawn 'railways' but was definitely atypical in form!!

That railway “ ran  on a wooden structure running at an average height of one and a half to two meters above the ground, where  the wooden beams were held by densely placed wooden  posts. The wheels ran on very closely spaced rails on top of the beams, and the carriages hung down on either  side of the entire structure, therefore floating, ie the  design was very similar to a monorail .”
