Kraków-Płaszów Train Graveyard
This cemetery of rusting Soviet-era steam locomotives and train cars offers an apocalyptic glimpse into a bygone era.

📜 Hidden on auxiliary rail sidings in the vast suburban Kraków-Płaszów rail yard lies a forgotten train cemetery, where rusted locomotives and train cars stand frozen in time. Built in 1908 and expanded under Nazi occupation, parts of the yard fell into disrepair after the Communist era.
