steam locomotive in Lwow station, Poland, circa 1920


Leopol is the French name, from the Latin name Leopolis, the city of the lion.  Today it and the German name Lemberg have largely disappeared in favour of the Ukraine name of Lviv, which it has been part of since 1945.  See earlier posts on this station and the city.
