Wraz z początkiem września zakończył się sezon wakacyjny, podczas którego na linii kolejowej nr 213 kursowało 12 pociągów ciągniętych klasycznymi "łajkami". Charakterystyczny bulgot, jaki wydają z siebie lokomotywy serii SU/SM42 są nieodłącznym elementem helskiego ambientu. Przyszłoroczny sezon ma być ostatnim, gdzie pojawią się składy wagonowe ze "stonkami".
