==== Broad-gauge railways ==== [[Image:Mapa LHS.png|thumb|250px|LHS links southern Poland with broad-gauge railways in Ukraine and other eastern countries]] Except for [[Broad Gauge Metallurgy Line|Linia Hutnicza Szerokotorowa]], and a few very short stretches near [[Border crossing|border crossings]], Poland uses the [[standard gauge]] for its railways. Therefore, [[Broad Gauge Steelworks Line|Linia Hutnicza Szerokotorowa]] (known by its acronym ''LHS'', [[English language|English:]] ''Broad-gauge steelworks line'') in [[Sławków]] is the longest [[broad-gauge]] [[Rail tracks|railway line]] in Poland. The line runs on a single track for almost {{convert|400|km|-1|abbr=on}} from the Polish-[[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] border, crossing it just east of [[Hrubieszów]]. It is the westernmost broad-gauge railway line in Europe that is connected to the broad-gauge rail system of the countries of the former [[Soviet Union]].
