Date: 04/25/20 08:55 Re: European Railway Station Where is it No. 19 Author: andersonb109 Time for a clue. This city once had a different name when part of the former Soviet Union. There are two other stations almost within waking distance, the one below is now a shopping center and houses and excellent railway museum.

Date: 04/25/20 12:45 Re: European Railway Station Where is it No. 19 Author: andersonb109 Correct city. But they have five stations. The Waraw station is the one that's now a mall and museum. So it's not that one. Others are: Baltic, Finlandia, Moskovsky, and Vitebsky. Which is the mystery staiton?

We didn't have time to go inside which has been beautiuflly restored, as we were in a taxi on a a tight schedule to visit the railway museum at Warsaw Station and then a high speed train (by Russian standards) to Moscow and onward that evening back to Kiev.

The Sapsan operates at Vmax 250 kph (150 mph), which is high-speed by most international standards (and certainly so by American standards). |
