That was fantastic, thx for sharing.
Sounded like it was in Poland too, by the title. Dad's mother was Polish, so that's part of my heritage along with trains.
They do this each May.

Wolsztyn is the last place that has steam run in regular daily service.
Last year I got the pleasure of operating both OJ49-59 and OJ49-69 in regular passenger service and Px48-1919 on the Narrow Gauge. It is an experience I will not soon forget.

I am not sure how much longer this operation will last so if you have a chance to go you should.

After I heard those steam whistles, I had a hard time seeing those engines through the tears in my eyes. Thanks for the link.

Wow. I never thought I'd be so impressed by steam. That is HARD CORE. Thanks for the link!!
Wow........
Has anyone seen my jaw?
Finale? Is Polish State Railroad ending its tourist-attracting steam program?
I hope not!
You probably won't see anything like that again.

WOW !!!!!
One has to be amazed at the logistics and expenses to put smething like that parade together!
Hats off to the sponsors of that show.
If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
