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.
PKP EP09-030 passenger locomotive at Krakow Plaszow, built 1986 a relative youngster in Polish railway terms. Not well liked by train crew & not that reliable. PKP have had major problems with bogies & traction motor defects, & it is said no two locomotives are the same, with constant design changes whilst in production!!.
