Stonka with slag
We finished our short day trip to Częstochowa in Februrary around the western side of the steelworks, on the branch leading towards the EHAZET plant, which receives hot slag in wagons for further processing. We didn't spot any trains, but at least we spotted 6De-2637 during shunting duties around the plant in the background. The main part of the steelworks is to the right of the image.
The EHAZET branchline is to be closed soon due to the fact that the slag processing plant is planning to move to a new location near the rolling mill, to the east of the whole industrial complex.
I talked about the 6De engines broadly in one of my previous posts, so if you're curious, have a read here!
