Soldiers are checking the site where the famous \u201cgold train\u201d is supposedly located. The sappers\u2019 inspection will last six days. The area where the work is being carried out lies barely several dozen meters from the seat of the Wa\u0142brzych Special Economic Zone.<\/strong>
\nInformation about the sappers\u2019 action was revealed during a special press conference. Around 30 Polish and foreign news teams took part in it, including the American TV station NBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur main aim is to eliminate potential danger. The area will be checked by the army looking for explosives, chemicals and radioactive substances,\u201d said Tomasz Smolarz, Governor of Dolno\u015bl\u0105skie Province, at whose request the work is being done.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The area where the army experts work is fenced off. Pedestrian traffic on the overpass in Uczniowska Street, which lies in the Wa\u0142brzych SEZ, is limited.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very busy place, near the Wa\u0142brzych-Wroc\u0142aw railway line. For this reason, the action follows a special procedure. The city is going to cover the cost of the soldiers\u2019 stay,\u201d explained Roman Sze\u0142emej, Mayor of Wa\u0142brzych.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The action is being carried out by a sapper unit stationed in Brzeg. It will last six days.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur task is to check the area using ground-penetrating radars and other equipment. We will search up to one meter below the surface, depending on the specificity of the ground,\u201d explained Colonel Artur Talik, commander of the unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Checking the area by the soldiers does not mean that excavations in search of the train have begun. Among the attendees to the press conference was Piotr Koper, one of the discoverers, and Tadeusz S\u0142owikowski, who has been researching the history of the \u201cgold train\u201d for 30 years.<\/p>\n
