13. The post office received the number 2. It is common usage in Poland that the post offices at the railway station have the number 2. One exception is the post office in Opole; the main post office Opole 1 is only 100 meters from the railway station and acts as a railway post office, too.

In 1979, a photo was published, showing a Polish postman and two soldiers during the occupation of the post office at the railway station. This photo has been used in several publications since that day. Probably a mistake was made, since the door on the photo matches no door of the post office. The Polish postman Jan Kamiflski was not employed at the railway station but at the harbor post office. Pracownicy poczty i telekomunickacji w latach woiny i okupacji 1939-1945 (Warszawa 1979).
