In July 2026 Poland highlighted its railway heritage through a series of commemorative activities. Early in the month, heritage trips under the "Nieśpieszny" banner and a local celebration in Bydgoszcz marked the historic significance of the rail network. Later in the month, the national operator Polish State Railways (PKP) marked its centenary, emphasizing the sector’s role in the economy, recalling the early history of rail travel, and linking the celebration to global milestones such as the worldwide 200‑year railway anniversary. Together, the events underscored both the cultural legacy and ongoing modernization of Poland’s rail system.
