1 november 2012 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Grottgera stop. And then the impossible came true - after last car 954's collision and due to lack of another eN to work together with 1118, line no. 38 is being operated by a set of 'Pianos' no. 613-373, with drivers from depot... Gliwice.
30 october 2011 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Stacja Ruchu end stop. As you can see - there goes on a traditional discussion of "Superiority of the Christmas over the Easter" series, concerning the superiority of an eN over a Caroline. With the quantity of leaves falling that day, it was easy to predict the result...
30 october 2010 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Kościół św. Trójcy end stop. The first part of three-day marathon of both Bytom's eNs at Piekarska street - and what would it be without any action... "Hildka" servicing train 382 damaged one of it's magnetic brakes nad lights from "A" platform stopped working - that meant end of this train's work for Saturday.
13 october 2010 - Bytom, Piekarska street. "Paulek" comes out of the shadow after servicing Cmentarz Mater Dolorosa stop - introduced yesterday and located next to Bytom's largest and best-known cemetery.
26 march 2010 - Bytom, Piekarska street next to crossing with Prusa. Set of eNs waiting for decisions - at 2:46 p.m. controller at 954's 'A' platform had locked at 18th (of total of 23) notch. At 6:25 p.m. 'Hilda' came to take it to the depot, but due to 'Paulek's' axles locking while going backwards it was impossible. Set came down to Stacja Ruchu end stop, where crane with an electrician on board appeared at 7:20 p.m. - and after unlocking the controller cars went each on it's own to the depot (954 shunted at Urząd Miasta stop, in order to be driven from 'B' platform).
28 january 2002 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Kościół świętej Trójcy end stop. And an another shot. As you can see - it used to run without couplings, and for another five years 'it-was-impossible' to provide eN with folding ones.
28 january 2002 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Kościół świętej Trócjy end stop. And now something from the bottom of drawer - Silesian trams with 'crows'. Here is 1118 still with the old square (line's number plate), what is more - instead of front one, there's a side one in the frame.
27 january 2010 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Stacja Ruchu end stop. Seems to be an evening like any other there - but an era is probably going to finish. Fridek aka Siwobrody, one of the 38's 'owners' after reaching the age of 70 two days ago is planing to finish his work in a few days and leave the line which he's related to for 15 years.
1 november 2009 - Bytom, ul. Piekarska. Poc. 382. W tym roku do Bytomia nadciągnął będziński desant w postaci wagonu 4N 20 (liniowy 1167). Pierwszy raz w historii linii 38 kursuje tu wagon innego typu niż N. Jako pociąg następny (widoczny w tle) porusza się wagon N 1118 obsługujący poc. 381.
31 october 2009 - Bytom, Stroszek tram depot's yard, 7:10am. Caroline from Będzin exploring the world - waiting to start it's duty as train 382, accompanied by "Hildka" and causing understandable interest. Anyway - it hadn't reached Piekarska street this day...
16 november 2007 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Stacja Ruchu end stop. Stroszek depot having vintage car on loan (due to All Saints Day in 2007) used to run it sometimes on line 38...
9 july 2009 - Bytom, Piekarska street crossing Smolenia and Nawrota streets. "Hildka" is approaching stop, which became the end of the line (for ten days) next day.
21 may 2008 - Bytom, between Piłkarska and Olimpijska stops. 'Hildka' is racing to jump into her plan after some repairs - of course, at the highest controler's position...!
30 september 2008 - Bytom, Piekarska street - crossing with Piłsudskiego. 'Paulek' working for society in scenery of early Autumn. With greets for 'driver with radio', who used to work constantly on this line few years ago.
2 july 2008 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Grottgera stop. Unusual set of cars is ready for it's travel to Stroszek. 105Na 717 carried 'Hilda' (driving backwards, of course) near the court house, then using track profile and a little help of car 347 from line 19 order of cars had been changed and broken-down N was carried to the depot. There was no chance of making better photo when I had been involved in whole action.
22 august 2007 - Bytom, Piekarska street - Kościół św. Trójcy end stop, 7:48 a.m. Train 381 waits for last delayed passengers before another of 'morning rush hours' runs.
23 september 2006 - Bytom, Stroszek depot. Shortened presentation of its rolling-stock - from left 105N, N i 105Na, only thyristor 'invents' weren't present.
9 june 2007 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Stacja Ruchu end stop. Don't shoot me cause of quality, I just found out that there was no photo of 'Hilda' from the days she was 'a caravan'. Honestly - that, what she carries down her windows was an advertisment of 'Bytom's City Holiday 2007'. Livery made of spray on a cling film was carried between 9th and 28th June, and caused a lot of different comments.
27 april 2008 - Bytom, Piekarska street, Smolenia stop. 1118 (aka 'Hildka') stopped by traffic lights through lazy, Sunday shift on Piekarska. Greets for driver... And welcome here on TWB. ;-)
