Poland

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.

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.
