1. The map of the Polish railroad network which forms Attachment A is based on
documents and railroad charts of the former Chief of Transportation of the
German Armed Foy.-ces as of late 19" This material was brought up to date
and supplemented by new information furnished by refugees, German Pills, German
railroad personnel employed for Soviet traffic through Poland, and data ob-
tained from the daily press, technical publications, pertinent radio reports,,
Polish timetables for the years 1949 through 1952. and Soviet 1950 and 1951
timetables for trains operating through Poland. The present status of the
Polish railroad net is indicated by the following information.
a. Notwithstanding some rumors to the contrary, it can definitely be assumed
that the Soviet-gauge system has not been extended to Polish territory.
The only exce:a to this are the Brest Litovsk-Malaszewice and the
Przemysl-Zurawica railroad line sections, which have both a Soviet-gauge
and a standard-gauge track.* The Malaszewice railroad station is being
converted into a transfer point from Soviet to standard gauge. Zurawicay
which was established as such a rail transfer point by the Germans for
grain imports from the U.S.S.R. in late 1939, has not been observed being
used for transloading operations by the Russians to date.
b. The new Skierniewiee-Gore )calWtLr is_Luk w** M echow J50o 2'N20002'E)-

75004:. TN 2?#8 'E) railroad lines have been reported under construction by
one source. The lines have been entered in the railroad map, although
this information has not been confirmed.
c. Work on the electrification of the 'warsaw-Tluszcz and the Warsaw-Blonie
(Li the direction of Sochaczew) sections has progressed so far that elec-
trically powered transportation on the two lines is expected to start in
late March 1952. The lines concerned have not been marked as electrified
lines on the attached map.
