Steel Will Rozwadów

Stalowa Wola Rozwadów Railway Station, located in the Rozwadów district of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, is an important transport hub, opened in 1887 following the construction of a railway connection to Dębica by the Austrians. The station developed into a key railway junction, especially after 1889, when the line to Przeworsk was built, and after 1914, when the route to Lublin was constructed. Despite damage during World War I, the station was rebuilt and modernized between 1918 and 1930, aligning with the development of the Central Industrial Region. In the 1960s and 1970s, the station reached its peak operational capacity, handling a significant number of passenger and freight trains, including transports from the Huta Stalowa Wola steelworks. The facility boasted extensive social and cultural amenities, including a brass band. Although less extensive today, the modern station still plays an important role in rail transport. Between 2017 and 2020, the modernization and electrification of railway line No. 68 were carried out, improving the station's infrastructure while preserving its two passenger platforms and introducing new traffic control solutions. In 2021, the renovation of the station building began, concluding in September 2023. The revitalized station building, the longest in the Podkarpacie region, blends historical architecture with modern solutions—accessibility for people with reduced mobility was improved, multimedia information boards were installed, and part of the space was designated for lease. The building also houses a Territorial Passport Point and a resident service point. Interestingly, the station has retained many historical elements, giving it a unique character in regional architecture.
