Steam Railways of Poland

Wolsztyn is the centre of steam in Poland. It is home to a wonderful open-air museum consisting of a steam locomotive shed / depot; turntable; and a wide collection of working, rare, mainline Polish steam locomotives. Every day several passenger and freight trains leave Wolsztyn on route to locations in Lubuskie, Wielkopolskie and other parts of western Poland. Here are a few photographs taken in and around Wolsztyn in western Poland.
