Chabowka Rolling-Stock Heritage Park Skansen

About

This open air museum opened in 1993 on the site of an old World War II steam depot, and features a collection of historical exhibits and consists of a growing number of historical locomotives, snow ploughs, and rail-mounted cranes. Some of the steam locomotives have been restored to working order and are available for use during select dates. The park is located at the Western end of one of the most beautiful and scenic rail lines in Poland, running from Chabówka to Nowy Sacz. This line was never electrified or greatly modernised, and so retains most of its original buildings, signaling, and infrastructure. Today, the Skansen displays one of the largest and most interesting collections of railway exhibits, rolling stock, and artifacts anywhere in Poland, and is a must-see for railway enthusiasts passing through the area.
