An American Railfan in Poland: 600mm Znin Tourist Railroad
In this installment of ARinP, we visit the 600mm gauge Znin Tourist Railway. Like the Silverton, Cass and Strasburg Railroads, this is a class operation. Its route includes a 600mm gauge railroad museum, the ruins of a castle with a dark past, and a world class archeological site. IMHO, not many American rail enthusiasts realize the number and the quality of railfan experiences that are to be found scattered throughout Poland. Some have a vague knowledge of the Wolsztyn Experience, and a few of us have even enjoyed it, but few realize that it is possible to enjoy a great railfan holiday in Poland without even visiting Wolsztyn -- although I can't imagine why any railfan would go to Poland and not visit Wolsztyn. My goal in this series of videos (don't know yet how many there will be) is to share with my compatriots the railfan highlights of my visits to Poland in 2000 and 2003. I hope they will be interesting, entertaining, and maybe even inspire some of you to see it for yourself.
