… however only during the shots to a motion picture. On 12th July, the Shed was visited by a film crew shooting a documentary for Polish National Bank under the working title “Gold”.

In September 1939, Polish gold reserves needed to be evacuated out of the country. After many troubles, the precious cargo arrived at Polish-Romanian boundary in Sniatyń, from where it was to be transported by rail to Constanța. Exactly this episode was shot in Skierniewice’s shed. The main character was a train consisting of “Ferrum” tank engine and a couple of the historical box cars. Three members of PARE as extras played the roles of train crew. After twilight a scene of unloading the gold to cars was shot.

The movie is directed by Joanna Kaczmarek and produced by Krzysztof Jackowski and VALRED studios. Presenter Marek Tajchman from TVN Channel is the narrator of the documentary.
