Entered into the register of historical monuments Przeworska Narrow-gauge Railway "Pogórzanin" connects the city of Przeworsk and Dynów. Among the many attractions of the 46-kilometer tour include: a tunnel in Szklarska with a length of more than half a kilometer, the possibility of a draisine ride, picturesque bridges suspended over the rivers and magnificent scenery of the Dynów Foothills.

The idea of ​​building the railway dates back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The main task of the line was commissioned in 1904 to supply the newly built sugar mill in Przeworsk. In the 1950's the track spacing changed from 760 to 750 mm. Later, transporters for standard-gauges appeared, abandoned steam trains, and finally stopped regular passenger traffic.

Due to the efforts of the Association of Passive Lovers of Railways, no tourist courses are suspended. Today the historic railway line is looked after by the District Road Administration in Przeworsk.
