Skansen Taboru Kolejowego, Chabówka, 34-720
The Chabówka Rolling Stock Heritage Park “Skansen” was opened in 1993 (Polish: Skansen taboru kolejowego w Chabówce). It was built on the site of the old steam depot in Chabówka, and it is famous for the most numerous and one of the most interesting collections of exhibits related to the history of railways in Poland. Several tracks host an exhibition of decommissioned steam engines, electric and diesel locomotives, wagons, plows, cranes and other special rolling stock. Some of them have been brought back into service. Apart from railway vehicles, the facility also houses equipment for the maintenance of steam locomotives. In the memorial room there are many exhibits and stationery related to the history of railways. One of the exhibits of the facility is the TKb-1479 steam locomotive, which was manufactured in 1877 in Berlin. It is the oldest surviving steam locomotive in Poland. Tourist trains with a steam engine run regularly during the holiday season. In addition to the scheduled trains, the rolling stock from Chabówka serves occasional trains: on the occasion of Saint Nicholas Day, New Year, and on the occasion of various railway anniversaries. Trains also run on special request.
Please note that ITS-Poland works with groups only (10 participants and more).
