Son et Lumiere on a Saturday night at Wolsztyn. Sound courtesy of Ol49-59 on the turntable from which the photo was taken, light courtesy of the many coloured lights set up around the yard. Left to right are Ok1-359, Tr5-65, Ok22-31, Ok1-322 & Pm36-2 It was an open museum night and the shed was full of local people enjoying both the steam engines and the BBQ at the back of the shed by the water tower. The sausages wrapped in foil and cooked scattered around the Ol's backhead were delicious.

A real winter scene as Polish Railways 2-6-2 Ol49-23 gets up steam for its imminent departure from Poznan station on the 08.10 back to Wolsztyn. I had driven it on the 04.16 commuter train from Wolsztyn.

Wolsztyn is about 120km east of the German border at Frankfurt-am-Oder and the last 50km drive was on very pleasant country roads like this.

The non-electrified side of Leszno station sees two new Koleje Wielkopolskie (Greater Poland Railways) diesel multiple units. We had just arrived on the 12.51 from Wolsztyn in SA139-009 and we returned later that afternoon on a SA108-010. The 4-wheel railcar SA108s seem to be the Polish Pacers!

The 13.30 special from Wolsztyn to Zbaszyn leaves Wolsztyn behind PKP Ol49 2-6-2 Ol49-59. The station is just visible in the distance.

Double slips galore! PKP Ol49 2-6-2 Ol49-59 comes off shed at Wolsztyn.

PKP 2-8-2 Pt47-112 makes a very steamy departure southwards from Wolsztyn station.

In the deep mid-Winter PKP 2-8-2 Pt47-112 blasts away from Wolsztyn station with a freight train.
