A horse-drawn wagon crosses the line at Nowa Weis, Poland. The semaphores have \u2018x\u2019s\u2019 on them indicating they are out of service. Exposed on 120 black & white film with a Rollei Model T.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One my favorite images from the April 2002 Polish adventure is this timeless scene of three middle-age men on a horse-drawn wagon crossing the line at Nowa Weis. I caught this on film shortly before sunset with my Rollei. It was on PKP\u2019s (Polish National Railways) secondary line that runs southeast from Wolzstyn to Leszno across through unspoiled pastoral countryside. The largely steam operated and under-maintained railway, added to a rural charm that harked back to another generation. For me it was like stepping back a half century, or more.<\/p>\n
