The minor third
Bogaczewo is one of the coolest stations in the general proximity of Gdańsk, when you only count in those, where there actually is regular traffic. All that thanks to the array of semaphores at the entrance from the direction of Pasłęk/Braniewo. The impressive 10 meter tall structures with 5 meter distant signals (a huuge rarity nowadays!) provide an interesting background for any picture taken here.
This picture of the EP07-365 with the IC 58106 "Gryf" on hook was taken exactly from the place where the old broad gauge track from Kaliningrad used to run. The line terminated in Bogaczewo and was partially dismantled in the 1990s and 2000s. Now the broad gauge only reaches to Chruściel. A nice reminder of the old 1520mm line was a third semaphore signal, which would be sitting to the left of the frame. As opposed to the ones currently standing, the third signal was noticeably smaller with a height of 8 meters. It was dismantled around the year 2020.
