The claim uses the broad term 'railway infrastructure' without distinguishing between the transshipment terminal (built in the 1970s) and the railway line/station itself, which has existed since the 19th century.
No primary official source (e.g., PKP historical records, Polish government transport archives) could be located to definitively confirm the construction date. All sources found are secondary journalistic or informational outlets.
The MEP's own social media post on the same topic states that 'some elements still remember the 1970s,' implying that not all infrastructure dates from that period.
There have been recent modernization projects (2023–2026) adding new tracks and terminals to the Małaszewicze area, meaning some infrastructure is now considerably newer.
