    For those of nervous disposition this video contains graphic shots of unfenced lines, level crossings with no control systems what so ever and a generally a very laid back approch to the whole thing.

    Utterly charming, would give the elfansafety brigade heart failure.

    Where exactly is this, presumably somewhere in Poland, and is it still going? Maybe there still are some delightful nooks and crannies left!

    Outrageous. Should be stopped along with lines like this October steam train (PL) - YouTube :)

    A couple of weeks ago in Eritrea we had a train of 3 bogie vans. Hot day, no seating. The only way of keeping cool was opening the sliding doors and sitting on the floor with your legs dangling out! Some of the sections below Arbaroba had 1000 foot drops down to the bottom of the valley. Oh, and the gradients were up to 1 in 30 and the train was propelled and stopped using handbrakes only. Bit different to the UK!

    Response from Andrzej, das war das letzte Jahr der Laufzeit dieser Feldbahn. Sie existiert nicht mehr.
    My German is none existant but Babel fish translates roughly to, it was taken last year but no longer exists. So I guess that means the line has been closed.
