context_page_description: Budapest Keleti railway station is the main international and inter-city railway terminal in Budapest, Hungary.
  The station stands where Rákóczi út splits to become Kerepesi Avenue and Thököly Avenue. Keleti pályaudvar translates to Eastern Railway Terminus. Its name in 1891 originates not only for its position as the easternmost of the city's rail termini, but for its original role as a terminus of the lines from eastern Hungary including Transylvania, and the Balkans. In contrast, the Nyugati railway station used to serve lines toward Vienna and Paris.
context_section_description: The façade of Budapest Keleti faces onto a large three-sided plaza called Baross tér. In 2005, work began to construct a pedestrian concourse and exits to allow better access between the Keleti Pályudvar Station on Budapest Metro Line 4 and long-distance train facilities.  The statue of Gábor Baross, for whom the square is named, was returned to its location in December 2013 and work completed in March 2014.
