00:00 This area where we are standing now is the place of the old steam locomotive operation in Wrocław, at the Wrocław Główny locomotive factory.
00:09 Here, some years ago, steam locomotives left the factory to replenish the coal and water supply.
00:16 Here is a group of tracks marked "X".
00:20 This is an area that, with the effort of the club, at the end of the previous year, was included in the provincial evidence of the monuments.
00:27 It should therefore be in accordance with the procedure in the municipal evidence.
00:31 The entry was made by the Office of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship Conservatory of Monuments.
00:37 We are fighting for this area to be made available to us.
00:42 So this would be the perfect place to create a living museum of the railway.
00:46 Originally, this area belongs to the State Treasury, currently rusted by regional transport.
00:52 And that's why we are trying to create a museum of the railway,
00:58 it must be a living museum, i.e. have the right space,
01:02 and to be able to show these machines, this fleet in motion.
01:05 It's not the same as a vase closed in a cabinet, it's a story that can be touched.
01:10 So, due to both these historical and logistical, transport factors,
01:14 so that special museum trains could be organized,
01:19 it fulfills these conditions best here.
01:22 That's not all. Our fleet is currently stationed on rented tracks,
01:26 and it is stationed in the open air, so it's difficult,
01:29 especially since these are historical exhibits, these wagons and locomotives,
01:32 the tow vehicles that we have,
01:34 it's difficult to carry out their renovation and repair in such conditions.
01:37 They are exposed to atmospheric factors and also acts of vandalism that happen.
01:43 The facility will allow, for example, for further development of the museum
01:47 and to become a separate entity,
01:49 so that it can be properly financed,
01:51 take part in various programs surrounding the monuments.
01:54 And we will be responsible for it ourselves,
01:57 without being dependent on completely different institutions,
02:01 just like museum facilities in general, in different fields.
02:04 of the year.
02:05 It's a great day.
02:06 It's a great day.
