"Knedlík" 182.065 (prod. 1964) is making its way through the devastated stretch of track between the stations Puszcza Mariańska and Mszczonów with a set of UPG.ua tankers.
The company CTL has taken up the task of hauling such trains between the Ukrainian border in Hrubieszów and various locations on the Polish borders - mostly Szczecin. This way, the colorful tanker trains became a regular sight on the railway line no. 12 Skierniewice - Łuków.
The transports to/from Ukraine with various different goods have partially replaced the mostly collapsed intense container traffic between Małaszewicze and Rzepin on the line 12. I would even risk saying that the traffic is even denser than before the war with a daily number of trains gusting 35-45 and provides a much larger variety of carriers. The usual operators on the East-West container services were PKPC, DB and Ecco Rail. Now they are also broken up by various other companies, like the CTL shown above or Ost-West Logistics.
