Private, business, professional, or tourist?... There seems to be no specified person, and now more and more people are returning to usage this form of movement and transport of goods. So present we have a renaissance of railways in the world, but slowly, besides due to the fact that there is not only sentiment, economical needs or economics, but besides the challenges of our times, namely the request to defend the environment and clean climate. These goals thus become a large denominator combining past and tradition with modernity – said Senator Adam Szejnfeld, Vice-President of the Committee on National Economy and Innovation during the beginning of the exhibition, "Train to Train – Railway to Country".
