Having read only that kk article, I'm not certain if trains are considered parts of the infrastructure?

It works for train vandalism - why wouldn't it work on industrial scale?

For example, someone stole active train parts: https://orzeczenia.gdansk-poludnie.sr.gov.pl/content/$N/1510...

  • I don't know, that's why I asked--for me "infrastructure" sounds like the immovable parts. Similarly to road infrastructure, which doesn't include cars. But it's just my armchair impression, I have no idea how the law works in this context.

    I quickly scanned the sentence you linked to, and art. 254a seems to be applied only to the theft of wires from tracks? Or am I missing something?

    I've tried googling "infrastruktura kolejowa", and it seems that Ustawa o transporcie kolejowym defines it in art. 4.1, referencing Appendix 1. And that Appendix only lists immovable stuff. But again, I'm not a lawyer and I'm aware that definitions from one act often don't apply to a different act, in different branch of law.

    • In the usage I'm familiar with (in the US), the entire rail network is considered "transportation infrastructure", from a national perspective.

      But from the perspective of just the rail network, the track and other infrastructure is considered separate from the rolling stock.

      I wonder: If the rolling stock becomes immobilized, does it now count as immovable stuff?
