An American Railfan in Poland: Elblag-Ostroda Canal 1/3

In this 3-part adventure we explore the town of Elblag with its canal boats on rails, its narrow gauge trams, and its interesting architecture. The 50 mile long Elblag-Ostroda Canal uses five water powered incline planes and two locks to achieve an elevation of 325 ft., and is the only canal of its type still operating. And this is not just a trip into the past; it is also a pleasant excursion through a beautiful bird sanctuary. IMHO, not many American rail enthusiasts realize the number and the quality of railfan experiences that are to be found scattered throughout Poland. Some have a vague knowledge of the Wolsztyn Experience, and a few of us have even enjoyed it, but few realize that it is possible to enjoy a great railfan holiday in Poland without even visiting Wolsztyn -- although I can't imagine why any railfan would go to Poland and not visit Wolsztyn. My goal in this series of videos (don't know yet how many there will be) is to share with my compatriots the railfan highlights of my visits to Poland in 2000 and 2003. I hope they will be interesting, entertaining, and maybe even inspire some of you to see it for yourself.

Leftside aka Dr Evil - is one of the most versatile artists from Jamaica. He played drums already as a teenager backing with band artists like Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs and John Holt. He built some hottest riddims in the Dancehall like "Matrial Arts, "Chiney Gyal" and "Double Jeopardy". He tan teamed up with Esco and recorded some absolutely wicked tunes like "Passa Thing" and "Tuck In Your Belly" which became smash hits. In 2007 Dr Evil, his alter ego inspired by Austin Powers movie came to live and gained him new fans around the world. He is one of a very few artist who keep the comedy part of Dancehall culture alive and make it in the universal way which is as popular in Japan as in Poland.
