At the end of the last century the local railway lines in Poland were closed. The traffic suspension on lines to attractive tourist destinations were closed too. The reason was lack of light rail vehicles that could climb hills on foothill and mountain railways, adapted to the decreasing number of passengers. On the other hand, limiting the admissible speed limits has limited the attractiveness. It was caused by unsatisfactory technical condition of the rail infrastructure. The road congestion has grown therefore the environment has been polluted. As a result, tourism development has been limited. Guided by the principle of sustainable development, taking into account the possibility to generate passenger streams, leads to the conclusion that communication on foothill and mountain regions should be based on the pro-ecological electrified railway, supported by complementary network, which would be served by electric buses and Park&Ride solutions. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to present the methodology of railway restoration taking into account boundary conditions of the transport system. In this paper the possibility of reactivation of service on one of mountain route in Poland was proposed. Based on microsimulation analyse which uses the equation of motion, the journey time and - as a result - railway timetable was established. Using geographic information system (GIS) tools the location of Park&Ride Parking and new station was proposed. The possible further development of transport system was discussed.
