travelling by train in poland is somewhat like travelling via a time machine. the trains are almost invariably from the 50s and 60s, polish, german, and russian cars, german engines which are mostly electrics, although diesels are not uncommon.

because poland's highway system is very limited (most roads, even between major cities have only one lane in each direction) trains are still an immensly popular way to trave.

these images are from our travels between warsaw, pszczyna, and krakow. when i was growing up in poland, travelling by train was my favourite part of any of our vacations. it turned out this is still the case...
