Olkusz
THE STATION IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERABLE.
Olkusz is an intermediate station, located on the 46th kilometer of the line. There are 4 main tracks here, two of which run by a two-edge island platform. Formerly, one more track - No. 3 - ran by platform No. 1, but this platform is out of service and partially demolished. Completing the track layout are several side tracks, including tracks leading to the loading yard and ramp, as well as to the metal depot siding. Train traffic is handled by the "Oz" and "Oz1" control stations, which have centralized mechanical equipment with traffic lights. The control station also operates the horns on the level crossing. The LHS broad-gauge line was routed along the entire station in the 1970s - and because Olkusz is one of the larger urban centers on the line, the aforementioned platform No. 1 was built. Although the LHS line has an eminently freight character, the platform was still used by broad-gauge trains in the 1990s. Today, only freight trainsets run on the line, passing the normal-gauge station without stopping.[1]
