Skrzyżowanie torów w Orzeszu, Railway intersection in Orzesze, Poland
The railway junction connects lines 169 and 159, forming a perpendicular cross pattern at the exact point where both tracks meet in Orzesze.
The intersection emerged in 1884 when the Upper Silesian Railway Company completed the track from Orzesze to Żory, crossing the existing Wilhelm Railway line.
The intersection represents the industrial heritage of Upper Silesia, marking a period of rapid railway development in the coal mining region.
The intersection remains accessible through a commemorative installation near the Orzesze city hall, where sections of the original tracks are displayed.
Until 2010, this crossing point stood as the only fully electrified perpendicular railway intersection in Poland, monitored by the Olszynka control post.
