Journey: It would have had to have travelled the whole way across Poland to reach the town
나찌가 지하에 숨겨논 사라진 황금열차에는 프러시아 왕인 표트르 대제의 4억불 짜리 화려한 귀금속으로 치장된 호박방(Amber Room)이 함께 있을 수 있다는 의견들이 분분하다. 저널리스트 톰 바우어는 독일군에 의해 강탈된 이 호박방이 기차안에 있기를 바란다고 말했다. 상트 페테스부르크의 캐서린궁전에 있던 이 호박방은 1716년 프로시아왕이 표토르 대제에게 선물로 준 것인데 호박과 황금 보석 등로 치장되어 있었으며 1941년 독일군에 의해 강탈 당했다. 나찌 독일은 그곳의 성들 중 한 곳으로 그 보물들을 가져갔는데 그곳이 과거 서프러시아 영토였던 폴란드의 바우브지흐라는 얘기다. 독일군이 망해갈 무렵 소련 붉은 군대가 이 도시에 입성했을 때는 이미 보물들은 사라진 후 였으며 이후 다시는 그것에 대한 소식을 알지 못했다. 현재 폴란드의 바우브지흐는 나찌의 황금열차의 존재와 위치가 확인됐다는 소식을 전해들은 보물 탐사자들로 온통 들떠있다. 독일군은 폭격을 피해 군수물품을 수송하기 위해 바우브지흐 지하에 미로처럼 건설한 땅굴 가운데 하나에 열차를 숨기고 입구를 봉인했다 열차에 접근하는 통로에 지뢰나 폭발물 같은 부비트랩을 설치했을 수 있기 때문이다. 열차에 화학무기가 있을 수 있다고 경고하는 역사학자도 있다. 주코프스키 차관은 "열차에서 고가 물품이 발견되면 제보자 두 명은 10% 보상을 받을 것"이라며 "물론 고가 물품은 원래 소유자에게 돌려줄 예정"이라고 말했다.

The Nazi gold train could contain an ornate room crafted out of amber, gold and precious jewels which has been missing since it was looted during World War Two, it has been claimed.
Journalist Tom Bower, who wrote Nazi Gold: the Full Story of the Fifty-Year Swiss-Nazi Conspiracy to Steal, has said he believes there is a high likelihood the hidden locomotive is filled with art and precious jewels, rather than bars of gold.
But what he really hopes to find in the train discovered abandoned in a tunnel underneath a Polish mountain is the Amber Room, stolen from the Catherine Palace, near St Petersburg, in about 1941.

Gift: The Amber Room (pictured in 1932) was a gift to Peter the Great from the King of Prussia in 1716

Splendour: It was put into the Catherine Palace, near St Petersburg, where it remained until the Nazis looted the grand residence in 1941, dismantling the room and taking it back to one of their castles
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Bower said: 'If it is an art train, there will be paintings, there will be perhaps diamonds, there will be rubies and precious stones and also, the one thing that's always been missing, the Amber Room.
'I think it is far more exciting to think perhaps that is in the train.'
The Nazis dismantled the room - thought to be worth about £250million - when they arrived at the Russian palace in October 1941.
The Russians had tried to conceal the grand room, a gift to Peter the Great by the King of Prussia in 1716, by covering it in wallpaper, but their plan was foiled.
The room was then taken by the Germans by rail to Koenigsberg Castle, in what was then East Prussia. Now, the castle is found in the city of Kaliningrad.
But it disappeared In January 1945, after air raids and a savage ground assault on the city.
While some claimed it had been destroyed in the raids, others reported seeing 40 wagons moving away from the castle under a cloak of secrecy after the city fell to the Red Army.

Disappeared: But the room was never seen again after 1945, and some suspect it was whisked away by the Nazis as the Red Army marched on East Prussia (pictured: the replica Amber Room)

Found?: Journalist Tom Bower believes the room could be on board a train found hidden in a tunnel (like this one) near the city of Walbrzych, in Poland
To Mr Bower, it is entirely possible the train may have made the almost 400-mile journey across Poland to Walbrzych, on the border with the Czech Republic.
'As the Russians advanced and the Allies came in from the west, there was a huge movement as the Germans sought to keep it for themselves,' he explained.
Initially taken with a grain of salt, the story has gained credibility after a culture ministry official said he saw a ground-penetrating radar image of the alleged train on which he could make out platforms and cannons.
'I'm more than 99 percent sure such a train exists, but the nature of its contents is unverifiable at the moment,' Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski said Friday.
