Ferrocarriles - Polonia: libros - historia

Loks der Polnischen Staatsbahnen PKP - seit 1945 (Typenkompass)

Railway enthusiasts are increasingly interested in the railways in the eastern neighbouring countries. Their vehicles are the main focus of interest. The Polish State Railways PKP is particularly popular because it has gained international recognition with its steam locomotive depot in Wolsztyn.
The Polish railway industry is also increasingly successful: in 2014, a subsidiary of DB AG received and used railcars from a Polish manufacturer for the first time.

Each type is presented with a photo, a historical description and technical data.

Elektryfikacja Warszawskiego Wezla Kolej 1933-1950

Una de las mayores inversiones en infraestructuras de transporte en la Polonia de entreguerras fue la modernización del nudo ferroviario de Varsovia. Incluyó la construcción de una línea de paso parcialmente subterránea con la estación Warszawa Główna y la electrificación de tres líneas suburbanas principales.
La introducción de la tracción eléctrica a finales de la década de 1930 fue uno de los mayores avances tecnológicos en la historia de los Ferrocarriles Estatales Polacos. La modernización incluyó material rodante moderno, sistemas avanzados de alimentación y seguridad, mejora de la infraestructura ferroviaria y mayor comodidad para los pasajeros con nuevas estaciones y andenes renovados.

Este libro presenta una historia detallada de la inversión, basada en documentos de archivo, fuentes de los años 30 y 40, y estudios posteriores. Describe los inicios de la tracción eléctrica en los PKP y contiene una gran cantidad de material ilustrado.
La publicación incluye fotografías de los primeros trabajos de electrificación y explotación de trenes, además de dibujos, esquemas, tablas, horarios y datos técnicos de las primeras locomotoras y unidades eléctricas polacas, junto con estadísticas inéditas sobre su uso en la posguerra.

Kolej między wojnami

After the years of partition and the First World War, trains in Poland brought life to the tracks of modernity. Like the legendary lucstorpedo, they exhilarated with their speed, facilitated communication and overturned notions of traversing space.
The electrification of railways, the rebuilding of the Warsaw Railway Junction, the construction of the so-called coal trunk line linking Upper Silesia with Gdynia are just a selection of inter-war investments that improved travel comfort and significantly increased the capacity of freight transport.

The tale of railways between the wars is a story about breaking barriers, breaking records and a certain ethos. Punctuality, reliability, dependability!
On the railways it was not to be a bluff. The work of a railwayman, which commanded general respect and provided a decent livelihood, was the dream of many. Social gatherings were held on special trains, daily journeys to work set the pace of inter-war life.

You can see it all again. Taking a comfortable seat in the carriage, make your way through the pages of this richly illustrated book.
This book comes with complimentary extras:
- a reprint of the 1939 PKP network map
- a DVD with a montage of archive footage of inter-war railways.

Schienen verbinden Deutschland und Polen

The German-Polish border, established after the Second World War, stretches along the Oder and (Lusatian) Neisse. The German Democratic Republic (GDR) signed the treaty with the People's Republic of Poland on this "peace border" in 1950.
The Federal Republic of Germany recognized it in 1970. Over the last 70 years, good neighborly relations have developed between Germany and Poland, strengthened by Poland's accession to the EU in 2004 and the Schengen Agreement in 2007.

Liberalisation and interoperability in rail transport are increasingly removing commercial and technical barriers across borders. This book examines in detail the history and future of the stations at these crossings, which are mostly operated as joint stations.
Current track plans, historical and modern photos document rail traffic across the Oder and Neisse. Overview maps and tables provide a clear overview, while a statistical section presents the technical data of Polish locomotives.

Szerokim torem - LHS

The LHS (Linia Hutnicza Szerokotorowa, formerly Linia Hutniczo-Siarkowa from 1976 to 2001) is Poland's longest railway line with a broad gauge (1520 mm) commonly used in former USSR countries. The book provides accessible insights into the rationale behind constructing such an atypical railway line, connecting Hrubieszów with the Dąbrowa Basin.

The publication intricately details the route variations, construction, and ongoing operation, including aspects such as traction rolling stock and passenger traffic. Richly illustrated with photographs, some previously unpublished, the book documents the LHS from its construction to the present day.
