Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railways - Maciejów Silesian

The entry on the station in Sosnica mentioned the narrow gauge railway, which was once very major means of transportation in Upper Silesia. Combined a lot of industrial plants, and her arm reaches up to Raciborz. In the days of greatest glory was the length of a network of over 200km GKW, the largest distance between stations of about 90 km. The data on this subject from the book, Christopher Soidy on Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railroad - a mandatory item for anyone interested in this subject. It was only after reading this study, I realized how extensive it was and how little train after it left traces. From childhood I remember, rode the narrow-gauge track from Gliwice in Bytom, from Gliwice, Zabrze-long into the unknown and Gliwice to Rudy. So many remember as a young boy, was not then available to me, accurate maps and the Internet. On the back cover of the first volume of the work mentioned above is a photograph of the station Maciejów Slaski. Analysis of this station plan indicates that it was pretty big for narrow gauge conditions. There were two combined tracks from the Bytom and Ruda Slaska. I knew that the station of that name existed, but I had big problems with its location, well, because who would seek Maciejów station, practically adjacent to the station in Gliwice-Sosnica. Maciejów that's Zabrze district. But I brought the photo to me on a good track and one March weekend, I went to see what was left of this one of the bigger stations wąskotorówki Silesia. For those looking for ideal leafless period, because many things like the summer is considered to mind, here are visible at a glance. I started from the Sosnica and bridge. under which certainly went through a narrow path. Now just follow the footsteps of the line.



Going parallel to the active rail route, but at a distance we find clear traces of the old station:







It was here was a station Maciejów Slaski. Going further east we come to the place where the paths toward distribute the Bytom and Rudy. I went arm of Bytom. The track in the direction of Rudy was a little further south



Here narrow-gauge track above the line of Gliwice Rybnik (Ligota). Under the bridge you can go, although sometimes wet spring.



Next, we have the next bridge under the tracks running from Bytom in the direction of Rybnik:



And finally we come to the street harvest in Zabrze, a normal asphalt



And this is the last vestige of wąskotorówki this direction. Next she ran parallel to the line-of Bytom and Gliwice really need to make an effort to firmly see some small signs. Subsequent modifications to the broad-line did their job, but maybe someone interests you, such as freedom of the viaduct above the street in Zabrze, which clearly retains a place for a narrow track. Well, but a topic for another entry. Winter is coming, really beautiful time of year, especially for seekers of traces of the past .....
