08.10. |
Arrival in Koszalin by 12 noon, our special train is scheduled to depart around 12.30 pm. We will travel chimney first to Rosnowo, take water there and then return to Koszalin. Sunset shots as well as night shots are planned. |
09.10. |
We want to be back on the line around sunrise. Again we will drive to Rosnowo and return to Koszalin around 2 pm, leaving enough time for the return journey home. |
The line leads from the historic railway facilities at the narrow-gauge station first through the suburbs of Koszalin. After crossing the main road, the line crosses meadows and fields. In Manowo there is still an interesting station building. Here, a bypass track can be used, which we will also take advantage of. Further south, the line then enters the forest, climbing steadily towards its current terminus. Our locomotive will go up the gradient chimney-first.

The trip is designed for travel by private or hired car to Koszalin and join the group there. The rail connection to Koszalin is not really good for international travel. Accommodation is not booked for the group on this trip and has to be organised individually.
We will travel on the freight train (no car chasers please!). Please note that our trains do not have to comply with the latest EU safety regulations. We want to run an authentic train and not one with automatic door closing nonsense. Please always use common sense when using the railway. It is recommended to take out foreign accident insurance and the always important foreign health insurance. Neither FarRail Tours nor the local organiser is liable in any case of accidents of any kind, damages, losses, and disadvantages or extra costs caused from delays, etc.
