Why does this seemingly simple monument, the Pomnik Kolejki Wąskotorowej, weigh almost 6 tons? The Pomnik Kolejki Wąskotorowej, a monument to the Wilanów narrow-gauge railway, is more than just a visual tribute. It stands as a testament to Poland’s first suburban narrow-gauge railway and its impact on the development of Warsaw. Commissioned by the Friends of the Manor House Association, the Pomnik Kolejki Wąskotorowej is a striking sight. Sculpted by Jarosław Urbański in 2005, the monument was largely crafted from scrap metal. This speaks to the ingenuity and resourcefulness that characterized the railway’s history. The Wilanów narrow-gauge railway, once a vital artery of transport and connection, is now immortalized in this powerful sculpture. The Pomnik Kolejki Wąskotorowej serves as a reminder of the legacy of the railway and its lasting imprint on the landscape of Warsaw.
