Silesian Voivodeship is the most populated area in Poland, having a well-functioning road network and a dense rail network, which unfortunately is not sufficiently used due to low capacity due to poor technical condition (at medium speeds not exceeding 30 km/h for passenger traffic and 20 km/h for freight traffic). On the railway network in Silesia there is mixed traffic, ie. Commodity-passenger. Often freight traffic has priority over passenger traffic and a number of railway lines is greater % of occupancy. The article presents the historical regional railway, which was to be dedicated to only passenger traffics, as a movement dedicated on Silesia for such carriage. Unfortunately, for economic reasons and it seems that the political, this project has not been implemented, even though part of the design was made at 100% and part of the infrastructure at 30%.
