  Bytom is now, we can say, under Polish occupation since 1945. Before this year it was German for centuries. And Bytom's cars were built in Goerlitz, as well as their lines operated by SSB till 1945.

  Ah - so SSB still ran the Bytom city trams until this time? I didn't know this - thanks for the info

  @N: Yeah, great years without Poland! We all were happy! How I wish to climb onto Stalin Palace again, and watch our russian city, temporary occupied by Poland.

  @sergey: Well, if we look at that only through period of how long Bytom used to be a part of each country - it's just as I wrote. I prefer rather to mention Bytom and whole Upper-Silesia as long-lasting meeting point of cultures and nationalities, than a place which is 'more Polish, than German or Czech'. And no-one wrote nothing about 'great years without Poland', my dear.

  Again, a small correction. This cannot be 1939 - by 1936 all narrow gauge tracks in Bytom were re-gauged, except for the exterritorial line Katowice - Piekary, which ran through Pogoda. And Walkers originally were the mainstays of the Oberschlesische Dampfstrassenbahn fleet, not Oberschlesische Kleinbahnen und Elektrizitaets Werke. Hope you do not find my corrections annoying yet
