By rail to Chynów and back

Somewhere south of Czachówek Górny, a line branches off and curves away to the east, to join the Skierniewice-Łuków line.


And on the Skierniewice-Łuków line, a train full of Chinese consumer goods heads west.


Below: I get this snap through the driver's cab. We are south of Czachówek Południowy, looking down the line towards Sułkowice. This is the furthest extent of the first stage of the modernisation work of the Warsaw-Radom line, completed in 2017. In the distance, old track is being ripped up on the second stage, from Czachówek Południowy to Warka.


Below: looking towards Sułkowice, this time from Chynów. The 'up' track has been removed here, new gantries are in place awaiting cabling.


Below: from the spot above I pivot through 45 degrees to snap this familiar orchard in Jakubowizna in the winter sun.
