Locomotive Turntable, Wolsztyn Live Cam

The live HD webcam at the Steam Locomotive Shed in Wolsztyn provides a view of the historic railway turntable located in this Polish town. During the steam locomotive era, turntables were crucial because locomotives were designed to travel forward efficiently and needed to be repositioned for return journeys. These structures were often easier to construct than more expansive wye junctions. In contemporary times, turntables are seldom utilized for regular passenger services. However, the Wolsztyn facility remains notable as the last operational turntable in Europe where locomotives are regularly turned. The town hosts an annual Steam Locomotive Parade on the first Saturday of May, drawing thousands of visitors.
