It’s the beginning of April and this can mean only one thing for us – beginning of the repairs of the tracks in the Shed. Thanks to the grant by the City Council of Skierniewice, we have started the complete overhaul of tracks № 7 and № 8 in front of the roundhouse. During the first weeks, we have removed the rails, concrete crossing plates and prepared an access route for the backhoe loader aiding in the works. Due to the fast-growing prices of materials we have already stock up with a fresh ballast that will be required later during the works.

We would like to inform you that individual visitors can visit the shed during the scheduled events, starting from the Open Day on 3rd September 2022 (11.00-16.00). Open Days take place on every first Saturday of the month from May to October (last on 1st October 2022).

Organized groups can visit the Shed outside of the scheduled events after prior arrangement with tour coordinator. To arrange the date of the visit please call us (Sławomir Sidor, tel. 730 181 323) or contact us via email zwiedzanie@psmk.org.
