On a bright May morning at Wolsztyn, Poland, I organized a footplate trip for myself on a PKP (Polish National Railways) 2-6-2 running to Poznan with a revenue passenger train.

This was among the photos I made of the experience.

A PKP fireman feeds the fire at speed. Exposed with a Rollei Model T on 120 black & white film. Scanned with an Epson V500 flatbed scanner and processed digitally in Lightroom.

Let’s just say I had a nice view on the return trip.
