Old Colliery railway Śląska - Zabrze Mikulczyce

few years ago was a nice the railway line from Bytom to Pyskowice. She ran quite scenic spots such as Silesia, had routed most of the route, surrounded by fields, and how it served the coal mine in Mikulczyce had a branch in the direction of Tworóg, and even drove in the fast trains. Sam was riding the train, "Sile" relationship Zielona Góra - Kraków, which surprisingly ran in one direction by Zabrze-Mikulczyce. It all happened in the eighties of last century. In the eighties these electrified line and everything was fine, nice and cacy. Freight and passenger movement flourished in the best and no one was expecting that for several years will only sidetrack the Grzybowice sand and the track rail. Railways in Zabrze sand should be separate and that more than one entry, but today a few photos from around the former station Zabrze-Mikulczyce. His time was quite a busy junction station from which trains departed in Bytom, Pyskowice and Tworóg. She had two platforms, an underground passage, and so it was not a small, insignificant, lost in the ignition cruising. With the turn of sand, which for a long time track runs parallel to the old line Bytom - Pyskowice yet Mikulczyce You can see any train. Unfortunately, I visit there regularly, but only on weekends so have not yet managed to photograph any of the rolling stock. But you can see that the tracks are used. What once may have some attraction to me retracts the lens.



start from level crossing Mikulczyce and go in the direction of the former station. The weather that day was niespecjalna summer, it looked like rain. We walk the track in turn means the sand, and left once the statutory two paths that route Bytom-Pyskowice


Going pass the parcel along the trail, the cemetery and come to the bridge. Underneath the street component. We are already in the vicinity of the tram. And the picture only remaining stump of the lighthouse - probably not worthwhile to take him anywhere from here.





already come to the station area Zabrze-Mikulczyce. Here are the remains of two platforms.


This track runs to the establishments on the street and ends Warehouse goat resistance near the intersection of the old-line Mikulczyce Tworóg by the Gliwice-Tarnowskie Mountains. Phew, a little messed


strewn entrance to the tunnel on the platform of the first








And finally, three pictures of the building railway station. Yet known what kind of building, even a plaque with the name of the station is visible, but signs of life there is not much. Well, this order of things. So far, for example, on Google Earth is very visible all assume the station, and I hope someday to go this route further. Mikulczyce not be the only station on the line, but certainly the largest. Other stops are Sl crampons, ice axes and Przezchlebie village. In the spring I will try to select the camera in those areas to see if there are still some remnants of this line in other places

Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railways - Gliwice Trynek narrow. Fog over Bytomką

When I was a young boy, and from time to time one could get the Katowice District train schedules, my attention riveted always one item. Namely, it was a line Trynek Gliwice - Rudy with a note-gauge railway line. This was probably the only line of which between 80 and 90 obługiwała passenger traffic across the network OGC. Unfortunately, this has been the liquidation order like virtually all of the network. It had a slightly different character and structure of transport than the other lines of OGC, but it did not protect it from extinction. But even today one can easily find the remains of the infrastructure and I do not mean a narrow path a few meters underwater in the asphalt which does not pay to have pulled out. One of the endpoints of this line was the station Gliwice Trynek NARROW-GAUGED. I was curious if any have been preserved traces of the station and to my surprise is something else. Status residues is deplorable, so you have to hurry if wants to see a little bit more. I just picked a frosty day of February of this year to capture what remains. Snow covered his mountains of rubbish and the station looks a bit like asleep. Unfortunately dormant forever because no train will not come here anymore. Rather, it awaits demolition but as you can see one picture is a historical site. Maybe that's why more has not been demolished.


Station name can still see


There probably started with a phone line running along the tracks

Is Ic Benzonatate Good To Take



Well winter has surprised us in December and is on the whole. After a week of snow car hatin on precipitation and impassable roads it's time for a little walk along the Bytomki in Zabrze. Although there was little visible but sometimes the fog became really interesting. As you can see an interesting team can capture at any time of year, I just need to go to the -10 degrees and is not afraid of a panic about the camera. This entry was treated the bit like a relief, with the next post back to the subject of mines and railways.
