Half-retro
SU42-510 of Morvi is slowly rolling on the Polish Embankment of the Gdynia harbour, with a couple of empty wagons for loading.
This picture concluded my week-long stay in northern Poland, where I had the occasion to roam around the areas of the harbour of Gdynia once again. It's an activity, which I have done many times already during my countless stays in the area over the years (because my relatives here), but I still haven't gotten bored of it, as there is always something new going on.
This week, two things caught my attention, both of which I managed to photograph on this shot. First - the smaller of the Stena ferries now moor on the "Nabrzeże Polskie". Second - a new locomotive appeared on the sidings of Gdynia! The SU42-510 very recently, after one of the repairs, was repainted into the traditional SP42 scheme (though more modern headlights were installed), and now looks more or less like SU42-536, which was repaired in 2019. It seems to have made a brief appearance and most likely will be replaced by some other locomotive in this role soon. During my stay it was shunting around with wagons of Budamar, which, combined with their brown livery, made for a semi-retro experience :).
