Buildings and remains of the infrastructure of the former railway station in Wapno on the inactive section of line no. 281 Oleśnica-Chojnice (Gniezno-Nakło nad Notecią section). A lot of traffic was associated with salt mining in the local mine, which had its own siding. At the peak of the mining season, 60 wagons of salt were dispatched from here daily. There was a signal box, and two platforms were designated for passenger traffic. During the mining disaster in 1977, the line from Damasławek to Kcynia suffered significant damage, and train traffic was temporarily suspended (replacement buses were running at that time).

Fenced chapel with difficult access

The mine ceased its mining operations on 5 August 1977 as a result of one of the greatest disasters in the history of Polish mining. A sudden increase in groundwater flooded the third level, which was breached by failing to maintain the appropriate thickness of the protective salt shelf. The direct cause of the disaster was the creation of hydraulic connections between the workings and the aquifers outside the diapir. Numerous landslides appeared in the mine's surroundings. In order to save the town, a 6-kilometre pipeline from Lake Czeszewskie was laid at record speed and water was pumped into the shaft. Despite this, on 28 October 1977 a large sinkhole covered the centre of Wapno, the northern part of the railway station and a section of line no. 281 Gniezno-Nakło nad Notecią. 40 houses were destroyed (including apartment blocks). Around 1.4 thousand residents were evacuated, some of whom lost their homes and left the town forever. (Wikipedia)
