Opatówek - Zbiersk - Turek

• At Zbiersk in the centre of Poland is situated a sugar works and the modern village of Zbiersk Cukrownia, built to house the workers at the sugar factory. On the edge of the modern village are the sheds and workshops for the narrow gauge 'Kalisz District Railway'. Kalisz is a large town, but the narrow gauge railway no longer serves the station at the north edge of Kalisz itself, the tracks having been lifted some years ago. At Opatówek, a few kilometers east of Kalisz, there are facilities for the transfer of standard gauge wagons onto narrow gauge transporters. In 2001, freight traffic on the line was timber from a timber yard at Zbiersk, general freight to and from Zbiersk goods yard and also traffic to the large power station at Turek, which lacks a connection to the PKP standard gauge network. In addition, passenger excursions were run on occasional Saturdays during 2001.
• Gauge: 750mm
• Principal Stations: Opatowek, Zbiersk, Turek.
