The cultural institution Wolsztyn Steam Engine Depot has received the certificate and authorization of railway undertaking. Thanks to this, from January this year, it is able to operate trains driven by historical locomotives. The security certificate (section A and B) issued by the Railway Transport Office confirms that the railway undertaking is equipped with an approved safety management system. It entitles it to access the railway infrastructure and provide traction services.
The Wolsztyn Steam Engine Depot was set up in June 2016 by PKP Cargo and local governments of Wielkopolska region, Wolsztyn County and the town of Wolsztyn.
“The receiption by the Wolsztyn Steam Engine Depot of a rail carriage license and the ability to run the trains individually are crucial for the functioning of the institution of culture. This in fact restores train journeys with the world-famous Wolsztyn locomotives. I hope that steam-driven trains will give the impulse for a further development of the Steam Engine Depot”, said Maciej Libiszewski, Chairman of the Board of PKP Cargo.
