PKP Pt47-168 Klodzko depot

Klodzko depot parowa, "World Steam" lokomotyw parowyc.

I saw over 25 active steamers that day in and around Klodzko

Since I was used to see some Frence 231 & 241 in my youth I fell in love with these old PKP giants. For almost an hour I got a footplate ride, wonderful noisy and shaking experience. The automatic coal shoveler worked fine although the old and battared engine was leaking steam on many places and had to struggle hard keeping at 80 Km/h with a 4-car, DDR build, double deck unit. ...

Very friendly & skilled crew ! Difficult to get in to the depot but once you were in ... great.
