.History
On January 4, 1901, along the entire length of Grochowska Street, the WKD Jabłonowska was launched - a steam narrow-gauge railway with a track gauge of 800 mm, connecting Jabłonna with Wawer. Two stations were opened at Grochowska - Rogatki Moskiewskie and Grochów . In July 1915, the Russian troops blew up the Rogatki Moskiewskie station.[2]
In 1925, after a tram line was launched along the street, steps were taken to liquidate the railway. On September 7, 1939, the cable car lines were suspended due to hostilities and then reactivated a month later. The Warsaw Uprising prevented the line from running. The WKD Jabłonowska railway was reborn as a state-owned enterprise in 1945. The last time the railway was used at Grochowska Street was on January 31, 1956.[3]
