Pafawag was one of the biggest factories in post-war Wrocław, producing railway rolling stock. As it often was in socialist countries, the factory created an entire ecosystem, together with housing, sporting clubs, organised free time activities. It was bought by foreign capital in 1997, and still operates as a subsidy of Bombardier Transportation.

Zygmunt Czerniak was an engineer in Pafawag, a member of the workers’ community. In a spirit appropriate to socialized production, he participated in the rationalization of factory work. He wrote down all the improvements he proposed in his notebook. His grandson, as a gesture of commemoration of his late grandpa, tattooed himself with a banner of Pafawag sports club.

Kadr z PaFaWagu

Jak było w zwyczaju modernistów socjalistycznych “malowanie trawy na zielono” przed każdym większym Plenum, bądź Zjazdem PZPR-u uruchamiano propagandowe wodze fantazji.

Nie inaczej było przed VIII Zjazdem PZPR, który odbył się w dniach 11-15 lutego 1980 roku. Na propagandowym zdjęciu KAW (CAF) hala montażowa wrocławskiego PaFaWagu i nieukończony jeszcze elektrowóz ET22-560.
