    The Wolsztyn Locomotive Depot is the last in Europe to maintain and use steam locomotives for scheduled passenger service.

    In 1886, the first railway line from Zbąszynek reached Wolsztyn. In the following years, Wolsztyn became a five-way railway hub (connections with Leszno, Grodzisk, Sulechów, and Nowa Sól).
    In 1907, the Wolsztyn Locomotive Depot was built as a technical base for the growing hub. Initially, it had four berths in the hall.
    In 1909, due to growing traffic needs, the locomotive depot was expanded to eight berths, giving it the appearance that has largely survived to this day.

    The Ty51-223 steam locomotive belongs to the Ty51 series, built between 1953 and 1958 at the H. Cegielski works in Poznań (then known as the J. Stalin Metal Industry Plant, ZISPO). These were locomotives with a 1'E axle configuration (one front axle and five drive axles), designed to pull the heaviest freight trains weighing up to 2,500 tons.

    The design was based on the American Ty246 series (so-called Liberation), supplied after the war as UNRRA aid.

    The Ty5 series (BR 50) was originally designed in Germany as a universal freight steam locomotive with an axle configuration of 1'E h2 (one front axle and five driven axles), characterized by a relatively low axle load (15 t). This feature allowed it to operate on lines with poorer track, making it ideal for servicing a wide rail network.

    Production: A total of over 3,100 units of this series were built between 1938 and 1942.

    In Poland: After World War II, over 50 locomotives of this type remained in Poland, designated PKP Ty5.
