locomotiv gt -lrb- often abbreviated lgt , with the nickname loksi -rrb- is a hungarian rock band formed in 1971 .
it has been one of the most influential rock bands in hungarian rock music .
gt in the name of the band refers to gran turismo , the long journey that the band was looking forward to when it was formed .
the origin of the symbol that gave the name lgt is not clear : on their first album there is a steam powered locomotive standing in an aquarium , and locomotives have been present on many of the band 's album covers .
one of the albums also has the name `` 424 -- mozdonyopera '' -lrb- ` 424 -- locomotive opera ' -rrb- , and when they performed their farewell concert on 17 may 1992 , as a show element they arrived to the nyugati pályaudvar -lrb- ` budapest west railway station ' -rrb- on a steam locomotive .
