The Russian Railway Museum is situated next to Baltiysky Railway station in Saint Petersburg.The museum opened to public on November 1 2017. [1] The museum utilizes the nineteenth century locomotive shed of the Peterhof Railway built in 1857 – 1858, however a large second exhibition building and open exhibition areas have been added. [1]
Overview
Many of the exhibits were previously displayed in the October Railway Museum at the former Varshavsky railway station. However, more exhibits have been added to the collection and much of the museum collection is under the roof. Full descriptions of exhibits are provided in both Russian and English. The whole story of railways is shown from Richard Trevithick to the present day. [1] Two HO railway models are also present. One model is of Russia’s first passenger railway - the Tsarskoye Selo Railway and the second of Vladivostok Station. [1] The RT-23 Molodets railway missile train and the Obukhovskii_12"/52_Pattern_1907_gun#1938_Railway_gun_TM-3-12 Railway gun are parked outside at the open exhibition area. [1]
