EN57 Regio Train

Loo, orthopaedist, or maybe choo-choo? The multi-faceted EN57 train has permanently etched itself into the history of Polish railways. It is recognized not only by avid railway enthusiasts, but also by average citizens who have been riding "the loo" since childhood. This nickname was given due to the characteristic smell inside the vehicle, and the extremely "comfortable" plastic seats, of course available on the longest routes, contributed to its moniker "orthopaedist". Memories associated with the EN57 train ensure that railway jargon has plenty of room for many of its names.

Polish railways have something to boast about — the EN57 was named the longest-produced rail vehicle in the world. Between 1962 and 1993, over 1429 units of this model were produced at the Pafawag factories in Wrocław, and modernizations of individual units continue to this day.

At nikiniki, you can get a t-shirt with the train in regional railway livery, as well as with the EN57 Series II, appearing in its historic yellow-and-blue livery. An EN57 t-shirt is an ideal gift idea not only for a railwayman, but also for your loved one who nostalgically recalls journeys on uncomfortable plastic seats.
