Interwar modernism

SU42-510 hauls out half of the empty ZSSKC wagons from Nabrzeże Polskie. The wagons would later be shunted to the other side of the embankment for loadup with coal.

 

The building in the background is a large cooler storage, built in 1930, which (at the time of its construction) used to be one of the largest cooler storages in Europe. The builing was expanded by a few stories between 1930 and 1934. It was used for storing meats from import and for export - anything from fish to bacon. It also used to have a direct rail connection (with large doors and tracks leading inside).
