(Narrow Gauge Dreams)
Author: Piotr Rudzki

Printing sold out. Please don't order or send payment!

Just before 10.06.2001, passenger services were operated on only 9 of PKP’s narrow-gauge lines. Right before their liquidation, Piotr Rudzki traveled on these lines, photographed them, and has beautifully written about them in his book. The author has conjured up the unreplicable climate of railways which have departed and won’t return. This is a sentimental book!This is a documentary book!
The book includes numerous photographs, reproductions of timetables, tickets, and rubber stamps as well as a color supplement with 48 unique, history photographs of narrow gauge railways from the archives of the Railway Museum in Warsaw.

Narrow gauge lines: Krosniewicka (to Ostrowy), Krosniewicka (to Boniewo), Stargardzka, Ełcka, Śmigielska, Krotoszyńska, Średzka, Koszalińska, Rogowska.
