How this line was checked
- Line drawn from OpenStreetMap relation 20420491 — the same nodes OpenStreetMap holds for this railway, thinned to within under 25 m of them
- Checked against OpenStreetMap: the whole line lies on real track, a median 4 m from it
- The operator publishes this line's timetable: PKP Intercity — a place to look it up, not a check of our drawing
