Another dying species - a photo on Flickriver

            EN57-1920 is seen leaving Warszawa Wschodnia towards Ostrołęka together with another EN57 unit. 

Recently, a lot of the old EN57 multiple units were withdrawn from service in Koleje Mazowieckie, because of their upcoming repairs, which wouldn't be worth it for the operator, as most lines already got their replacements in the form of modernised EN57 units, or even more modern Elf sets.

Here a very special example of the big EN57 family, a set from the youngest EN57-19xx production series. These units were produced since 1990 and were the last representatives of the longest produced multiple unit on the planet. EN57-1920 is even more special because of its AC units mounted above the driver cabs.

The first EN57 set entered the production line in 1963, and the last one (EN57-1953) left it in 1993. The last 3 years in production, the units received a new type of front, but besides this cosmetic change, nothing of importance was improved.

Currently, even the first modernised sets from Koleje Mazowieckie are headed to the scrapyard, which came to me as a big surprise.
