No credible reason for this to be CC licensed. Image is scanned out of a 1974 magazine. I suspect this is really a PD-POLAND claim, but no evidence is presented that this image was first published in Poland. Looks like a SNCF publicity shot that would have been copyrighted in France.

Template:PD-PRL is suitable. Changed and fixed. I have no idea where authors of pl:Młody Technik found this image, no notes about this. --Hiuppo 09:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately PD-PRL requires first publication in Poland or simultaneous publication. I don't see any reason to believe this image was first published in Poland. Morven 13:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems very unlikely to me that this image was first published in Poland. Why should it have been published in the Warsaw block? --ALE! ¿…? 13:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you're sure about place and source of first publication, please delete. But since only source is Młody Technik I can't see any reason. --91.94.129.250 06:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be no doubt that the image has been published by Młody Technik in 1974. On the other hand, statements like
  • Looks like a SNCF publicity shot
  • It seems very unlikely to me that this image was first published in Poland.
  • Why should it have been published in the Warsaw block?
are completely speculative. In fact, it looks like any black and white shot of this epoch. There is no well-founded reason to suppose that it was stolen from another publication or publicity. Further, it's not plausible that a Polish magazine, during the Gierek era, should not have been able to produce such a picture. Warsow block may have been a prison, but not as dark as that (especially Poland).--85.0.123.118 13:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Most likely to be an SNCF publicity shot. MichaelMaggs 16:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
