Story
Kolejarz II is the second railway dwarf of Wroclaw's Brochow rail series, stationed at ul. Biegła 3 just a few steps from his companion Kolejarz. He is the younger, perhaps more eager colleague — always the first to spot an approaching train and the last to put down his tools at the end of a long shift. Together, the two railway dwarfs form a miniature tribute to the generations of workers who kept Wroclaw connected to the rest of Poland.
History & Significance
Kolejarz II (also known as part of the Kolejarze Brochowscy series) stands at ul. Biegła 3 in the Brochow district of Wroclaw, approximately 6.2 km from the city centre. Like his companion, he was created in connection with the PKP renovation of Lesnica station. The pair represents the local railway community that has shaped the western suburbs of Wroclaw for over a century.
Inspiration
Brochow is a district defined by its railway infrastructure — the lines, depots, and workers' communities that grew up around the tracks. Commissioning a series of railway-themed dwarfs for this area was a way to honour the neighbourhood's industrial identity and ensure that even the youngest residents understand the role the railways played in building this part of the city.
Fun Facts
- Kolejarz II and Kolejarz stand only 8 metres apart — one of the closest dwarf pairings in all of Wroclaw.
- The Brochow district where he lives is about 6.2 km from the city centre, making him one of the further-flung dwarfs for tourists to seek out.
- His proximity to a working railway line means he occasionally gets a fine coating of dust — which only adds to his authentic working-class character.
- Together with Semaforek (about 540 m away), he forms a railway-themed miniature trail within the Brochow neighbourhood.
- Children riding the tram out to Lesnica often press their faces to the window hoping to spot him as they pass.
How to Find This Dwarf
Take tram line 9 or 17 towards Lesnica and alight at the Biegła stop. Kolejarz II is at ul. Biegła 3, only steps from the stop. His companion Kolejarz is just 8 m away, so you can visit both in a single stop. The area is quiet and residential — a pleasant contrast to the city-centre dwarf trail.
