During the anniversary of Warsaw-Vienna Railroad we co-organized or took part in many different events.

The 3^rd Conference „To save from rusting away” organized by the Railway Museum in Warsaw and Masovian Voivodeship Conservationist Office took place on 25^th November, in Żyrardów’s Aparthotel Old Spinning Mill (actually placed in the old linen factory).

The conference was devoted to the history of WVR, its material heritage and its conservation. PARE was represented by Michał Jerczyński, who gave a speech “The Architecture of Warsaw-Vienna Railroad – development and problems of preservation”.

It was not a coincidence that the event took place in Żyrardów – a city, which history is strongly connected to WVR.

After the panel discussion participants could visit the newly organized Linen Industry Museum, created and maintained by volunteers in the remaining objects of Żyrardów’s Linen Factory. Most of the exhibits is the original equipment from the last years of factory operation. Similary to Skierniewice Engine Shed, the interior and machines of the Museum are slowly brought back to life.
