European Railroad Discussion > European Railway Stations Part 15Date: 07/29/20 02:39 European Railway Stations Part 15 Author: andersonb109 Now to Poland. Most stations in Poland seem to have bold lettering giving away their location. So most were not included in my "where is it" series. Here is Leszno Station, rather cluttered with advertising signage. It has the distinction of being only one of two stations in the world with nearly daily steam passenger service...in this case from Wolsztyn. Photo taken on a TUT tour in 2007. Several more from Poland to follow.

Several more from Poland to follow. Correction: Only one of two stations in the world with nearly daily standard gauge, regular steam passenger service. The Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, Fichtelbergbahn, Weißeritztalbahn, Lößnitzgrundbahn, Zittauer Schmalspurbahn, Mecklinburgische Bäderbahn (Molli), and the Rügensche Bäderbahn (Rasender Roland) all provide nearly daily, regular narrow gauge steam operations serving an actual transportation service, to name just the most prominent examples in Germany.

Thanks for another interesting posting. ALLEN Date: 07/29/20 10:39 Re: European Railway Stations Part 15 Author: andersonb109 Maybe there was retail on the second floor. I don't recall. In and out very quick during loco turn.

Perhaps an earlier station didn't survive the Soviet onslaught in 1944/1945. Posted from Android |
