The old signal tower
TEM2-261 returns from Bór Górny, the main base of operations of CTL, with a set of empty dumpcars to KWK Piast. Since 2022 this locomotive, produced in 1986 in Bryansk, belongs to and runs for Omniloko. The signal tower in the background is the old Sosnowiec J. C. JCB building, which used to controll all switches around the big square of track centered here. It was closed down in 2013.
Since a couple of years, all the remnants of the quickly disappearing, non-Silesian, eastern part of the Sand Railways network (earlier used to deliver backfill sand to old mineshafts) are used for transports of mining waste exclusively. Most of them terminate at Bór Górny with the main CTL base and the biggest spoil tip in the area.
