It is former USATC #2450, Baldwin/70407/1944. It was given to Hungarian Railways by the United Nations as part of the effort to rebuild Hungary's war ravenged railways, at which time it was given the number 411.118

It was operational at least until recently. It is so neat seeing such pictures from a country where you could have been arrested for taking such pictures not that long ago.
