The olive green SM42-2557 shunts a set of wagons constructed by the Warsaw steel mill from the area of ArcelorMittal Recycling to the main part of the steelworks for unloading and smelting.
I want to use this occasion to sort of end the trilogy about Warsaw steelworks. It's not going to be the last photograph from here, but I currently can't find any more stuff to talk about ;)
The last and most interesting part of it is the stock of wagons of the steel mill. As of now, the most common sight in Warszawa Radiowo are the wagons, which are reffered to by workers as "iksówki". They are very unsophisticated, "home made" gondola wagons, which are hauled between AM Recycling and the steelworks. Around 20 of them are in regular service between the two facilities in trains of 5-15 wagons.
As I mentioned in a post a couple of months ago, a couple of the wagons which now run here are bought from PKP Cargo around 4 years ago, officially as scrap metal. After adapting them for traffic again, they now run for the steel mill between storages and the smelter. The wagons from PKP Cargo are of the type 401Zp and 601W (6 axle wagons!). Until a couple of years ago, wagons on the base of standard 408W and simmilar wagons could be seen, but they don't seem to be in service anymore.
Besides that, a lot of the "iksówki" carriages are still based on 17WZ wagons. They are a special version of 17W gondolas produced in the years 1952 to 1958 in Świdnica. In total 257 17WZ carriages were produced for steel mills across Poland, with some being delivered to Warsaw. They differed from the standard 17W carriages in that they were simple flatbed wagons instead of gondolas.
Other gondolas are only partially identified. It is possible that they are reconstructions of 11Z carriages produced 1949-1955, which are based on a german flatbed wagon from 1943 for transporting tanks.
Asides from gondolas, flatbed wagons for transports of ready made products can be seen. They moslty base on the same types of carriages as mentioned before but have no side walls. The exception is the carriage which can be seen to the right of the SM42 on this picutre. This two axle wagon possibly comes from before WW2 and is still in use in track repair trains of the steel mill. There are a couple of other wagons which don't fit any standardised types too, but not much is known about them.
The railways of the Warsaw steelworks still posess a couple of hopper and self-discharge wagons, which are leftovers from times when the plant had its own waste dumping site on its northern part. They are also used for trackworks nowadays.

I have no recollection of this place.
