railway atlas of Poland


This actually says "Little Atlas": a larger version is available; however, this is still a solid size and bigger and more detailed than the OPC (Ian Allan) atlas of British and Irish Railways (see earlier post).

Not only current lines, but unused and dismantled lines are also shown, as well as - as stated on the cover - bridges, viaducts, tunnels, mountainous line profiles, passenger lines, goods only lines, double track, single track, narrow gauge, sidings, tram lines and museums.  The legends are in Polish, English, German and Czech.  The whole country is covered in 92 maps in 1:300,000 and there are 25 detail maps in 1:100,000 to 1:25,000 of urban areas. A4 format, soft cover with flaps.
