In Poland are two railway open-air museums which maintain old locomotives and carriages ready to drive. The open-air museums of Rolling Stock in Chabowka has the most prestigious collection of antique carriages in our country and the oldest locomotives, functioning and exhibits.

One of the most interesting locomotives is OKz 32-2 from 1934 made in Poland. An exception is also a heating car 12-31 Oy from 1900 produced in Geramny. This exceptional car was used when the efficiency of the locomotive's boiler was not big enough to warm up the passenger carriages. Then at the end of the train was attached a heating car in which was fixed a steam engine.'

From June till September is working in Chabowka a retro train travelling on the trial Chabowka - Mszana Dolna - Dobra near Limanowa and Chabowka - Zakopane around Cracow. Moreover, one can hire the train on individual order on any trial in Poland.
