In Poland steam locomotives were used until 90s mainly due to the lack of diesel motor coaches. These steam locomotives were driving on "second-rate" passenger lines that already have infrastructure like water, coaling towers, railway roundhouses etc. So for PKP management everything was fine. These locomotives usually were driving with one up to three passenger wagons. If line become very unprofitable they simply close it and, usually, replace connections with buses. Of course after 1989 everything went downhill very quickly, but this is story for another episode :)

A nice example of East-West cooperation in the late 80s were the East German vehicle companies. The cars Trabant 1.1, Wartburg 1.1 and the van Barkas B1000-1 were pretty much the same as their forerunners (Trabant 601, Wartburg 353, Barkas B1000) but now had imported 4 stroke VW engines instead of domestically produced 2 stroke ones.

When I was in school we went to the High Tatras in (now) Slovakia for a week in october for a couple years to hike the mountains. Such fun trips. To exchange currency we had to go to the bank in East Germany and everyone could only get a certain amount of crowns which was noted on our id. Of course there were helpful locals in Slovakia who would trade us currency but you had to check the bank notes they gave you, some of them made... let's say a practical joke with it. In 1991 I went to the High Tatras on my own for a weekend, again in october. On my first hike up the mountains I met my school teacher who too went there on his own with a friend. We had all the world to visit but such was the landscape great that we came back to the High Tatras. Yeah well, all the world was probably a lot more expensive too ;-)

Jen jsem chtěl poděkovat za skvělou sérii vrchovatě napěchovanou fakty. O městech, infrastruktuře, historii, sídlištích atd. se člověk v této formě jen tak nikde nedozví. Taky jsem rád, že zde nezaznívá pouze primitivní anikomunismus, ale objektivní rozebrání historických souvislostí, co k čemu vedlo a jaké to mělo důsledky. Je to parádní reprezentace mediálně trochu opomíjeného vývoje bývalého východního bloku, které má šanci zaujmout a vzdělat i lidi nejen z tohoto regionu. Ještě jednou děkuji!

(EN by google translate): Just wanted to say thanks for a great series packed with facts. One cannot learn about cities, infrastructure, history, housing estates, etc. in this format. I'm also glad that it's not just primitive anti-communism that appears here, but an objective analysis of the historical context, what led to what and what consequences it had. It is a great representation of the media-slightly neglected development of the former Eastern bloc, which has a chance to interest and educate people not only from this region. Thanks again!
