This little, old Lady, was to short in action. Just a few years. I heard Tki3 will become an new overhaul, but lets see when she really will come back into service. Until then more old, historic, infrastructure ist gone forever.

Abgestellt Dampflok in Wolstyn
Bis Anfang der 1990er Jahre herrschte auf den Nebenbahnen um Wollstein noch uneingeschränkt König Dampf, auch wenn er hierbei zunehmend auf Unterstützung vor allem englischer Eisenbahn-Enthusiasten angewiesen war. Das für den Einsatz zuständige Depot Wolsztyn existiert noch immer, doch die Zahl der dampfbespannten Züge ist auf ein Minimum reduziert, sofern überhaupt eine betriebsfähige Dampflok zur Verfügung steht. - Die Strecke nach Neusalz (Nowa Sol) ist seit 2001 stillgelegt, was angesichts dieses dünn besiedelten Teiles Großpolens nicht verwundert. Ty45-379 verläßt mit einem Zweiwagenzug unter Volldampf das einsam gelegene Bahnhöfchen Lipiny, während einer der allgegenwärtigen Polski-Fiat 500 warten muß (Scan vom Dia).

In the spring of 1990, I heard some railway fellows talk about Wolsztyn. So I wanted to look at it myself. At the end of June, beginning of July, I drove to Wolsztyn for a few days. When I left the GDR, the old East German money was still valid, when I came back, it was already history. For my trip, this meant that I had no opportunity to change money in Poland. I had to exchange all the money in advance and had to hope that it was enough for the entire trip. For safety reasons, I took with me some spirits and sausages, which I sold on the Poznan market.
