Narrow-gauge Tycoons revive Poland's regional lines

摘要

Originally established by railway enthusiasts, SKPL has grown into a significant commercial operator of regional services on narrow gauge networks closed by Poland's state railway. February 4 2002 was a signficant day for Poland's Local Railway Traffic Association. SKPL ran its first train with its own staff operating rolling stock bought or leased from Polish State Railways. On October 20 2004 SKPL became a licensed operator of public freight and passenger trains, and we now provide services on five previously-mothballed 750 mm gauge railways with a total route length of 346 km.
