Cracow detours - part 2.1

Today I want to perform You another movie from Cracow detour spotting.

Due repair and conversion railway line in Cracow's center, few passenger trains are redirected to detour around city by old line by Nowa Huta district. Normally the line from Kraków Mydlniki by Kraków Nowa Huta to Podłęże is used to route freight trains around Cracow, but from March to beginning of June we can meet there few couple of passenger trains PKP Inter City.

Large rail ringway have number D29-95. It connect Kraków Mydlniki and Podłęże railways stations.

Was build in 50 years of XX century to allow dividing freight trains around Cracow city and for supply The Thaddeus Sendzimir smelter. Passenger traffic was closed in 1999.
