old days at Dirschau station

The station forecourt with a horse- and a horseless-carriage.
An aerial panorama, presumably taken from a flying machine
Road and rail bridges over the Weichsel (Vistula) with interesting old wooden passenger carriages in the foreground.
A better view of the road bridge - both were naturally given high explosive treatment in WW2
"station seen from Liessau"
Until 1919 Dirschau was a town in West Prussia, Germany, more or less south of Danzig; since then a town in Poland, known as Tczew (roughly pronounced "Tchef").
