Technically this might really go in "Railfanning," but I think it's interesting enough to put it here (and I hope I've made the right call).

Anyway, it's a listing of various types of Polish steam locomotives that have been used in that country, including many types that are now extinct or nearly so. Most interesting to me were the Pu29 4-8-2s (only three built, one survives), and the Ty246, a postwar 2-10-0 of modern design built by all the American builders (the ones from Lima would be that company's only 2-10-0s); named "Trumans" for the American president of that time, only one engine of the 100 built survives today.

Now, I wonder what else was running around there on narrow gauge?

Some other material I just stumbled upon; hate to say it, but it looks like there may be troubles for steam and other good things in Poland, at least according to this fellow:

And finally, something a little lighter, commentary on what might have been with steam:
