A girl validates tickets on a train of the Children's Railway in Budapest, Hungary on May 20, 2015. The Children's Railway has received the official Guinness World Record certificate for the longest children's railway line in this May. The 11.7018 km narrow-gauge railway runs between Huvosvolgy and Szechenyihegy stations in Budapest. It has been in continuous operation since the first 3.2 km of track were inaugurated on July 31, 1948. The engines are driven by adult engineers, and children aged 10 to 14 on duty are continuously supervised by adult railway employees. Apart from that, children do their jobs on their own.
