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.
