history

Route

The route led on the eastern front from Saliszi (Załośce) to Sboriw (Zborów). It was probably connected as a branch line to the Ozydow – Monasztyrek locomotive field railway.

Transport volume

On March 21, 1916, more than 100 sick people were supposed to be transported away with the field train, although the eight "Krankverschubfeldbahnwagen" could only transport a total of 60 sick and wounded people. Because the transport with the field railway was not yet feasible and because of the impassability of the roads, the sick people were transported from Olejow with carts instead of the ambulance cars.

On May 5, 1916, two pairs of horses were used to transport two tons of coal on the field railway from Feldspital 2/14 to the field steam laundry in Olejow.

On June 10, 1916, due to the Brusilov offensive suffered further north, a disinfector and the building materials from the bathing establishment in Zaloce were brought to the light railroad to be transported from there.
