You're standing on Baross Square in Budapest, in front of Keleti station, the city's main international and inter-city railway terminal. Look at the main façade. It's shaped like a triumphal arch and stands 43 metres high, topped by an allegorical sculpture by Gyula Bezrédi. On either side of the big glass wall with the station clock stand two railway pioneers: James Watt and George Stephenson.
