The EP07 class has been the standard electric passenger

Wrocław Główny heading the 05.45 from Szczecin
Główny to Przemyśl, on 31 October 2005 |

In the early 2020s, Intercity services are increasingly
worked by modern electric multiple units. ED160-016 is seen
arriving at Miechów on 30 June 2022 with train IC3120
"Kazimierz", the 17.20 from Kraków to
Łódź. |

Narrow-gauge Px48-1726 at Zaniemyśl, with the 10.15 to
Środa on 23 April 1991. This rural route to the
south-east of Poznań may have seemed like a museum railway,
but was in fact just an ordinary railway serving the local
community. Speeds were very slow, and the increasing level of car
ownership in Poland meant that the line could not survive, and it
finally closed in June 2001. |

Although many rural branch lines in Poland have closed in the
last 20 years, the Kudowa branch in the south has survived. On
22 July 2009, SU42-502 and a single coach formed the 09.02
from Kudowa Zdrój to Kłodzko, seen here at Polanica
Zdrój. |
