2022/07/25 | 6De-2637 | Częstochowa | PL

It was a very hot day. I think you can see the heat in the picture.
This was our first and so far only visit to the industrial railway in Częstochowa. This railroad serves several companies in a rather small area. There is a glassworks (in the background), a steelworks with rail traffic to a slag dump, a rolling mill and a coking plant.
In the picture, the train is coming from the rolling mill and going back to the steel mill. Since there is no direct connection, the train has to push back on the track on the left and then continue on the track on the far left.
The class 6De is a modernized version of the class SM42, which was produced exclusively for the local steel mill.
Piotrek & Jarek gave here some background information about it here: flic.kr/p/2qPVAsL
