    Balkan, Balkan Ekspress - a colloquial name for passenger trains running probably from 1916 to December 31, 1977 on the extensive, private narrow-gauge railway network with a gauge of 785 mm managed by the Georg von Giesches Erben concern and having a direct connection in Szopienice with the network of the Upper Silesian Narrow-Gauge Railways. The line on which the trains ran stretched along today's Szopienicka Street through the current area of three auxiliary units of Katowice: Szopienice-Burowiec, Janów-Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec. Until 1935, steam locomotives were replaced by electric locomotives on the line, and then from 1975 until the end of the train service, diesel locomotives pulled wagons adapted to transport people (towos).
