Małaszewicze

Małaszewicze [mawaʂɛˈvʲit͡ʂɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Terespol, within Biała Podlaska County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus. It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) south-west of Terespol, 28 km (17 mi) east of Biała Podlaska, and 108 km (67 mi) north-east of the regional capital Lublin.

Małaszewicze hosts one of the largest dry cargo port stations in Europe. This is accomplished through transshipment of containers from rolling stock of broad-gauge (1520 mm) onto standard gauge (1435 mm) wagons, and vice versa.
