BUILDING A TRUNK ROUTE FOR HEAVY FREIGHT AND PASSENGERS

Polish State Railways is constructing a new trunk line, a 223-km double-track artery linking the nation's major coalfield and industrial area with Warsaw and eventually with the Baltic ports. It has been planned to accommodate heavy freight movements as well as passenger trains running at 200 km/h. Standard concrete components were designed in various dimensions to fit almost all the structures required--culverts and bridges. The line is being electrified.
