In the middle of nowhere
ST43-380 awaits orders at Zagórz railway station. The area south-east to where the town is located (Bieszczady mountains) is known as one of the wildest and least influenced by mankind in Poland.
The station located on the historical trace of the Galician Transversal Railway is the starting point of the railway line no. 107 to Łupków (further to Medzilaborce and Humenné in Slovakia), and home to a small depot - nowadays owned and used by SKPL.
At the time, the earlier mentioned line 107 was used as a bypass route for container and empty trains headed to (and from) Slovakia, due to construction works on the main railway line between Nowy Sącz, Muszyna and Plaveč. It was the last time to shine, as nowadays there aren't any freight trains, which pass this station.
