Narrow gauge junkyard I went to

This (and some other rotting “monuments”) is what remains of the 750mm narrow-gauge Mława – Maków Mazowiecki railway in the northern Mazovia region of Poland

Passenger traffic on the line stopped in mid 1980s, the entire line got abandoned soon after

Nowadays only tiny sections of it are still usable and occasional tourist rides operated by volunteers are carried out

      @[email protected] i think nowhere in the world approaches narrow-gauge lines with such care and unmatched attention as Switzerland

      i mean come on they have lots of electrified very serious meter gauge lines with modern rolling stock and regular local operators using them :neofox_woozy:

        @[email protected] to be fair to ourselves, Switzerland is also uniquely rich and compact, so, they kind of have the right situation… But yes, it’s sad that so many lines were closed in the 80s

        In #Valencia , actually, we have the old #feve Denia - Gandia line, which probably will be re-built soon… They could have just not closed it :blobhaj_sadreach:

        Btw, #Valencia does have A LOT of narrow-gauge lines if you like that
