An American Railfan in Poland: Ty3 #2 2-10-0 Wolsztyn Depot

One of my favorite ARinP memories is of the Ty3 #2 working Wolsztyn depot in 2000. I was disappointed not to see (drive) it during my 2003 visit, but it was at the shops in Gniezno.
(Notice the Little Green Caboose behind the train.)

IMHO, not many American rail enthusiasts realize the number and the quality of railfan experiences that are to be found scattered throughout Poland. Some have a vague knowledge of the Wolsztyn Experience, and a few of us have even enjoyed it, but it is still possible to have a great railfan holiday in Poland without even visiting Wolsztyn -- although I can't imagine why any railfan would go to Poland and not visit Wolsztyn. My goal in this series of videos (don't know yet how many there will be) is to share with you the railfan highlights of my visits to Poland in 2000 and 2003. I hope they will be interesting, entertaining, and maybe even inspire some of you to see it for yourself.
