TEM2-188 shunts at the Rykoszyn transfer yard. From here a short 1 mile line leads to the Nordkalk limestone quarry.
SM42-2416 shunting in the transfer yard of the ArcelorMittal rolling mill. The signal box has already lost its purpose. It is still used as a break room for the railway workers. All the signals are marked with crosses to indicate that they are invalid, and all the switches have to be operated manually.

This image interrupted our trip for several hours and brought some unpleasant experiences. We were standing on what we thought was a public road. In fact, we were on the private property of the power plant. We were "arrested" at gunpoint by security guards. We were only able to get out of this situation by urging the police to get involved. In the end, the whole process took several hours and made us much more cautious on our next visit.
TEM2-178 of the local limestone quarry has picked up a train of empty open cars from the transfer yard and brings it now to the loading facilities of the quarry.
232 850 brought some tank cars to the transfer yard of the chipboard factory at Beeskow. The small V18 switcher in background (LKM 261432) from 1964 will then take over the cars.
At Świerże Górne railyard arrive coal trains from different areas of Poland to feed the nearby power plant. On the last mile, the trains are taken over by TEM2 or ST48 locomotives.

Many pictures are made on the way to a destination on on the way back. Since a lot of time is spent to get to a location, it's an important part of planning to identify the opportunities along the way. The power plant of Opole is such an opportunity we took on our way from Ukraine back home.
We were already nearly two weeks on the road and on the way from Ukraine back to Germany. Opole was an important destination on our way, since our last try to take photos there, went totaly wrong. Sven already told this story, you can read it here: flic.kr/p/2nRTmYy It took some time until we could do the photograph we realy wanted to do. While waiting for our chance, I have made this overview picture of the railyard.
S-291 has started to pull a string of empty waggons back to the quarry. All the shunting operations within the PKP railyard were done very quickly, the only thing that lasted a little bit longer was a visit of one of the two engineers at the nearby grocery store.
