The Richest Collection of Railway Rolling Stock in Northern Poland

Exhibits gathered in Kościerzyna since the early 1990s have grown into an impressive collection of 47 rail vehicles of various types, including no fewer than seventeen steam locomotives.

Among the most valuable exhibits are:

– Steam locomotive Ok1-112 from 1915. Ok1 is the Polish designation for the Prussian P8 passenger locomotive. This locomotive was mass-produced at many factories across Europe between 1906 and 1939. In total, over 33 years, nearly 4,000 machines were built.

– Tw1-90 from 1919. A unique steam locomotive of German manufacture, originally designated G10, and the only one of its series in Poland to survive to our times. One of the oldest steam locomotives in the Railway Museum.

– TKt48-179 from 1955. A steam locomotive with a boiler cross-section prepared for teaching purposes, which makes it easier to understand how a steam engine works.

– SP47-001 from 1974. A unique diesel locomotive, built in a run of only two units by the Cegielski works in Poznań. Despite the use of many modern solutions, production was halted after these two prototype units were completed.

– EW90-12. An electric multiple unit built in Germany between 1928 and 1931. Originally powered from a “third rail”. When it came to Poland as war reparations after the Second World War, it was adapted to draw current from the overhead catenary.

– Snow plough designed for work on a narrow-gauge railway with a track gauge of 600 mm. It was built on the body of a freight wagon, with a steel blade added.
