Video report from the rides on the ''Nostalgia za PRL'' trains, which on 11 and 12 June 2016 covered the route Kraków Główny - Kraków Nowa Huta - Kraków Główny four times. They entered the line D29-95, which is closed for passenger traffic, the so-called large freight bypass of Kraków. The trains consisted of a Hungarian-made SN61-168 diesel railcar with an attached 101a railcar. In addition to the train ride, the ticket price also included a ride on a historic Ikarus 280 bus and a visit to the PRL museum in Nowa Huta. What's in the film: *The film begins at Kraków Główny station - maneuvers, presentation of the train (0:19) *Kraków Batowice station.

Two of them are former six-chamber semaphores. (21:02) *The retro train approaches the Kraków Batowice station, stops in front of the entrance signal, where it stands for a few minutes, and then sets off. Before the train stopped, it was overtaken by an InterCity train unknown to me, led by EP09-002 (23:11) *The retro train on the viaduct above Opolska Street (26:51) *Closing of the level crossing on Kamienna Street and the passage of Pendolino ED250-019 from EIP 3512 to Gdynia Główna (27:14) *The retro train approaches Kraków Główny, honking profusely. Shot recorded near the crossing on ul. Kamienna (28:40) *After the last run, the retro train with the historic electric locomotive EU06-01 attached set off towards Chabowka (30:09) The shots in the film were not shown chronologically. The editing was done to give the impression that everything was recorded during one run. In reality, the shots are from all four runs of the train. The trains were organized by the Nowy Sącz Association of Railway Enthusiasts as part of the Małopolska Railway Tourism Trails project. The association's website: http://nsmk.pl/ The project's website: http://www.kolejegalicyjskie.pl/ The rolling stock for organizing the rides was provided by the Railway Open-Air Museum in Chabowka: Website: http://skansenchabowka.pl/ Facebook: http://tiny.pl/gwtl2 The recordings are from June 11 and 12, 2016. I invite you to like the Facebook page of the initiative to reactivate the inactive PLK 115 railway line from Tarnów to Szczucin. The aim of the campaign is to open the route that has been inactive for 9 years, so that it would be possible to run tourist trains or even scheduled trains on it: / szczucinka Enjoy watching!
