[ENG] The locomotive roundhouse in Wolsztyn is the last place in Europe to supply standard gauge steam locomotives for regular train services.
The turntable was built first in 1901. The roundhouse followed in 1907 and extended through the years. Nowadays it has 8 slots.
The roundhouse and turntable are located on the grounds of the railway museum. But it is just next to the ticket office so you can have a look without entering the museum.
