Rails on rails
During the past couple of weeks, there have been many transports of long rails from Chorzów (Kościuszko steelworks/rolling mill) to Somonino and Gdańsk Osowa on the old coal mainline. I have never had the time to catch one of them in action, until one recent evening
S200-273 in the Soviet-style livery and SM42-2108 were tasked with hauling the TMS 454029 from Chorzów Stary to Gdańsk Osowa. With S273 breaking down constantly on the way, it was the SM42 that did all the heavy lifting. Despite this, the train had arrived in Gdańsk Osowa without difficulties, even with heavy passenger traffic in the rush hours.
The train coming in to Gdańsk Osowa way after sunset was a great opportunity to test a new lens, which I borrowed from Jarek for the time being. Here the first picture I took with it shows the train at arrival in Gdańsk Osowa, with S273 already being half-dead.
