... in front of the shed in Środa. Apart from the diesel Lyd1, we have 2 guest locomotives: Px48-1752 from Ełk (behind the diesel), Ty 1884 from Bieszczady (in the middle) and Px48-1756 on the right.

Timetable 'short' working 14.30 Grodzisk-Wolsztyn arrives with museum loco Ty3-2 rather unconvincingly posing as Reichsbahn BR42 42.1427 the loco's original identity.

Ty3-2 (Ty43-126) is F Schichau, Elbing 4448/44 as DRB 42.1427 standing in stock to 1945 and one of three examples to pass to PKP.
BR42 (large Kriegslok) production: 1943 2nr, 1944 760nr and 1945 60nr approx.

Mornings in Viseu de Sus are always busy, a lot is going on at the depot and station. Here we see the first morning train to Paltin with two engines at the front leave the station while another loco is preparing for work
Same number of axles as the DB's BR23 (previous post) but produced a decade earlier is PKP type Ol49.
6 x 4.5 Provia100F

Following return from Poznań loco Ol49-7 is busily received at about 22.30hrs for disposal at Wolsztyn before placement within the roundhouse.
In something a little over a year Wolsztyn would become a very different place with most of the historic museum collection sidelined and full dependence put on these able 2-6-2s. Apparently Ol49-7 survives in dumped condition at Leszno.

Bardzo mroźny zimowy dzień, malownicza ulica Torowa w Granowie i wynurzająca się z mgły Ol49-69 z pociągiem do Wolsztyna
Ol49-59 wyjeżdża z Nowejwsi Mochy w piękny i mroźny dzień.
In Wolsztyn rijden nog dagelijks met stoom getrokken treinen naar Leszno of Poznan. Door de onzekere toekomst van de stoomtractie en de moderniseringsplannen voor de spoorlijn, ben ik in de zomer van 2021 naar Polen gegaan. De meest fotogenieke trein is de ochtendtrein naar Leszno die op alle werkdagen om 6 uur vertrekt uit Wolsztyn. Ondanks dat de trein vooral kleine dorpjes aandoet zit de trein aan het einde van de rit goed vol met vooral scholieren. Op de foto is de Ol49-69 (eigenlijk Ol49-99) zojuist vertrokken uit Nowa Wieś Mochy en passeert één van de twee seinhuizen. Zodra de seinhuiswachter het vertreksein weer op onveilig heeft gezet zal hij naar buiten lopen om de overweg weer open te draaien. Een deel van de spoorlijn is recent uitgerust met lichtseinen dus het is een kwestie van tijd voordat dit prachtige fotopunt is verdwenen...
The steam hauled passenger trains from Wolsztyn to Leszno or Poznan are still running although the future is very uncertain. The most photogenic train is the morning train to Leszno, which departs Wolsztyn at 6am on all weekdays. Despite the fact that the train mainly stops at small villages, at the end of the ride the train is well packed with mainly students. In the photo the Ol49-69 (actually Ol49-99) has just left Nowa Wieś Mochy and passes one of the two signal boxes. Part of the railwayline has recently been fitted with modern light signals, so it is only a matter of time before this beautiful scene is gone...
Festivities mostly spent, the morning after Parade Day falls quiet.
A collection of well-mannered balloons lie at the Parowozownia.
