The Narrow North

The narrow gauge lines of the PKP are quickly dying. They are an anachronism that plays no part in the future of the PKP. As the accountants sharpen their axes, a few survivors hang on . . .

	A class MBd1 railcar arrives at Lisewo, located just across the Wisla River from Tczew. This was a regularly scheduled passenger train running on the 750mm gauge line down from Nowy Dwor Gdansk. (September 17, 1990)
	Narrow gauge freight trains are becoming a rare commodity on the PKP. Most of the remaining narrow gauge lines with freight operations use narrow-gauge transporters to haul standard gauge cars. Here, two class Lxd2 diesels (built in Romania) take a freight train into a siding to meet a passenger train at Stara Dobrowa, on the 1000mm gauge Pomeranian system. (September 15, 1993)
	The MBxd2 narrow-gauge railcars were built to replace older railcars and locomotive-hauled trains on the narrow gauge systems. The cars were build by Faur of Romania in 1987. This car was waiting to depart from Dobra k/ Nowogardu. (September 15, 1993)
