Vistula Narrow-gauge Railway

Jan Kleniewski, a local landowner and industrialist, owner of the Zagłoba sugar factory was the initiator of the construction of railroads in the area.

In the years 1892-1893 a provisional railroad with wooden rails operated for a short time between the Polanówka farmstead and the sugar factory.

Until 1914 the Kleniewski family systematically extended the railroad: in 1911 a section Zagłoba-Wymysłwów with a branch line Szczekarków - Wilków - Vistula bank was created.

In the summer of 1915 retreating Russian soldiers destroyed both the sugar plants and their railroad - they dismantled the tracks and drowned the rolling stock in the Vistula.

The railroad was listed in the PKP documents in the 1920s as the "Nałęczów-Opole line with the Karczmiska-Rybaki branch", scheduled passenger trains ran only on the Wąwolnica/Nałęczów-Opole route; they were operated partially by diesel cars.

In 1938 the name "Nałęczów Commuter Railway" was introduced and the branch line to Poniatowa electrotechnical plants was built within the Central Industrial District.

During World War II the Zagłoba-Kępa Chotecka line was rebuilt again (in 1942), and an industrial railroad was established in Bełżyce, which was planned to connect with the Nałęczów Commuter Railway.

A bypass was built in 1959 on the sugar factory line between Opole and Piotrawin to go around the village of Niezdów due to the fire hazard posed by the steam locomotives.

The county authorities chose a new operator, Local Train Carriage Association (Polish: Stowarzyszenie Kolejowych Przewozów Lokalnych, ab.
