Exhibition of West Pomeranian Feeder Railways in Gryfice

An open-air museum of narrow-gauge railway rolling stock in Gryfice, a permanent exhibition (a branch) of the National Museum in Szczecin. It presents the history and rolling stock of the West Pomeranian feeder railways, including unique stock with a 1000 mm gauge (most Polish narrow-gauge railways used 750 mm).

History of the exhibition

The collection was created from rolling stock withdrawn from service on the West Pomeranian feeder railways (among others from Gryfice, Białogard and Dobra Nowogardzka), gathered at the Gryfice station from the late 1970s. The museum was formally opened on 8 September 1978 next to the roundhouse. Since 1 April 2010 the exhibition has belonged to the National Museum in Szczecin.

Collections

The exhibition presents historic steam locomotives, wagon stock and technical equipment of narrow-gauge railways; the site adjoins an operating roundhouse servicing the stock of the Seaside Narrow-Gauge Railway.
