Why are visits to the Railway Museum so attractive? What are its main attractions?

I tell you that it was inaugurated on February 25th, after long years of exhaustive repair and investment. Old locomotives and railway utensils that, due to the passage of time, were almost on the brink of oblivion were studied and repaired.

The dynamic achieved stands out, since the institutions and people who were involved in the project formed a model of assistance to the museum that breaks with the traditional scheme. We begin our journey through these snapshots.

The guided tour has a modest price and simulates a train ride.
