Poland Railways > IansRailwaypics  > Trains > Krakow Poland 08-10 April 2011
My first visit to Poland. I had a superb time. The overhead system on the railway is 3000V DC. The locomotives & Units are plentiful, with a real mix of livery applied. I would recommend a visit to all with plenty of traction to be seen & a very friendly & relaxed attitude.
My trip also included a visit to Auschwitz Birkenau and I include one image from that day as a memorial.
