List Of Narrow Gauge Railroads
Narrow Gauge Steam in Wielkopolska
For 2015 it is likely that the only steam narrow gauge that we can offer courses at is on the 600mm line at Znin where Px38-805 is currently operational and is in ticket until the end of 2015.
Additional Polish Narrow Guage Information
For information of enthusiasts there are many Narrow gauge lines in Poland, so here is a complete list of them. We can offer excursions to those within range of Wolsztyn. Book these with Howard on arrival if you are on one of courses, or for inderpendant travellers we can arrange guided visits through Marek Ciesielski, our Polish employee on
