Description
CMK
Central Railway Mainline (Centralna Magistrala kolejowa - short CMK) was built in 1971-1977 between Grodzisk Mazowiecki and Zawiercie and was linking Warsaw to Silesia. It was initially used primarily for freight, but it was changed in the 80s when CMK was adapted to high-speed passenger trains.
CMK North
One of the reasons that option of CMK to Grodzisk was chosen, was possibility of extending CMK to the north. There were plans to extend it to Gdansk, but due to the difficult economic and political situation in the country the project was never realized. Later in the 80s there was another plan to build only small section of the north railway to connect CMK with mainline to Poznan, the construction started but was not completed.
Now you can now find some unfinished buildings. From the freight station in Korytów embankment is extended and preapered for additional track. Near Jaktorów CMK goes east and embankment without tracks goes north, there are culverts (in the embankment or standing), unfinished overpasses, power poles and concrete technical road which goes along embankment, you can use it to "easily" to many of CMK North objects (most of which are located between C2 and C3 waypoint - I dont't waypoints to all objects, so that you can find them yourself) . Unfortunately, the most interesting building was demolished with the ongoing construction of the A2 highway. It was a series of concrete columns for bridge of the Berlin-Moscow highway (so called Olympic Highway - also unbuilt) over CMK.
Geocache
The container is hidden of one of the unfinished buildings. You can drive to it with concrete road.. Unfortunately, theres a lot of rubbish, watch out for broken glass, because you can get hurt..
Container is outnside of the north building, put it back in the same place (it want fall inside the building), and deep (so it will be less visible). It has attached magnet, so it's easier to take it out using metal item (knife or something).
