Pt47 is a series of steam locomotives (steam locomotives), which were produced in the period 1948-1951 at the Fablok plant in Chrzanów and the Hipolit Cegielski in Poznań (abbreviated: HCP). The length of a single locomotive (with the tender) was 23.84 meters, and the service weight - 103 tons. The diameter of the driving wheels was 1,850 mm, and the locomotive had 1'D1 'axles. A total of 180 locomotives of this type were built. The Pt47 steam locomotives were designed on the basis of the pre-war Pt31 steam locomotive. They had the same axle system and many components, but the Pt47 was slightly heavier and slightly shorter, and had a steam engine with a lower power rating. The new steam locomotive was designed to service long-distance and heavy passenger trains. The design turned out to be relatively successful and was used by PKP on almost all long-distance lines until the 1980s. Until now, only one operational locomotive has survived, which can be admired in the steam locomotive shed in Wolsztyn.120A is a series of passenger carriages, commonly known as "bonanza", which were produced in the years 1972-1984 at the Pafawag plant in Wrocław. The service weight of a single wagon was 39.5 tons, and its total length was up to 24.5 meters with a width of 2.91 meters. The car provided 80 seats with 170 seats altogether. The 120A wagon was constructed in the early 1970s based on many elements of the EN57 multiple unit. They were used by PKP at the same time and were directed to serve local connections, mainly on non-electrified lines, where the passenger capacity made it uneconomical to use OHP double-decker carriages. 120A wagons are still in service, most often in rolling stock with a SU42 or SU45 locomotive. Some series wagons used by PKP have been adapted to transport bicycles. It is worth adding that a certain number of them were sold to Romania, where 1st and 2nd class wagons appeared.
