This is a year round working funicular which takes skiers and other people from the town of Zakopane to Gubałówka on the Spisko-Gubałowskie foothills of the Polish Tatra mountains. The producer of the first funicular wagons was Von Roll from Bern, Switzerland, while currently operated wagons were built by Garaventa and Mostostal Czechowice. The railway operator is the Polskie Koleje Liniowe S.A. = the Polish state railways. Gubałówka is 1122 m above sea level and it is the most famous peak located in the capital of the Polish Tatra Mountains. This funicular can transport up to 2000 people per hour between Zakopane and Gubałówka.

Men changing sleepers with the help of a WM-15S rail truck. This rail truck model has been built by ZNTK Stargard in Poland and it is also in use in various parts of the former Soviet Union. Picture at Braniewo station 4.4.2017 by Ilkka Siissalo.

Almost the same as in the picture above, but not quite. This is a class WM-15A rail truck, owned by PPNT, which is a technology park in Gdynia.

PLK's track geometry measuring wagon UPS-80 in Chojnice 5.4.2017. Picture by Ilkka Siissalo.

This very odd looking machine with its wagons is designed to collect snow from tracks and then pack it onto the wagons at the end. At large railway railyards normal snowploughs won't help much, as it would be just pushing the snow from one track to the neighbouring one, so a snow collector is handy. The whole train could then be driven out on the open line, where the wagons could empty their snowload at the trackside. Picture from Chojnice 5.4.2017 by Ilkka Siissalo.

Would you wait here for the red sign to turn green? ;-) Picture at Ostroleka station 27.6.2015 by Ilkka Siissalo.

The Warszawa was the first new-design Polish car built after the Second World War. Picture from the Sochaczew narrow gauge railway museum 28.6.2015 by Ilkka Siissalo.

This picture is from the railway museum in Warsaw (Muzeum Kolejnictwa w Warszawie). The coach on the left is a German DRG (Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft, state railways of the Nazi German Third Reich) old so called "Donnerbüchse" (thundering tin) wagon of the 1920s. The military train on the right is also German, it is the PzTrWg16 (Panzertruppenwagen 16) armoured, motorised train of the Nazi German army.
