The PKP class EN80 was a series of standard-gauge electric railcars and trailers operated by the Warsaw Commuter Railway from 1927 to 1972. When the Warsaw Commuter Railway, the first standard-gauge railway in Poland, was built in the 1920s, its owners turned to the British company English Electric because no Polish trains could serve on a line of that gauge. In 1927 English Electric built 20 railcars and 20 trailers, delivered to Poland before the line opened on 11 December 1927. The trains were built of oak and pine timber, with large oak benches for a total capacity of 38 passengers and cabs on both sides of each railcar, and they drew current from overhead lines. After the Second World War the stock was rebuilt by Konstal in Chorzów, which also added 12 new trailers built in 1948, and the new EN80s were fitted with 45 kW engines.
