TKw2 - German T16.1 type - improved version of T16 (TKw1 in PKP) was very popular steam shunter. Actually it was nothing strange - PKP was given 129 TKw2s after IInd World War. This TKw2-114 was the latest, that worked till spring 1982 at Zabrze-Bielszowice coal mines. Nowadays, it's at Chabowka Steam-Depot (picture taken on July 21, 1997).
