Narrow-gauge Px48-1726 at Zaniemyśl,

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. |
