Sammelschwerpunkte/Main collections
The Railway Museum, which has been in operation since 1986, has been installed in the southern end of the Municipal park of the Railways, in an area of approximately 200 arces, which allows the Museum's railway exhibits to be integrated into their natural enviroment.
Among the exhibits of the Museum are included the station and its area, with a small double-storeyed building for the station-master, four platforms and an entrance pavilion with fixed benches for waiting passengers. There are also a water-tower with a cylindrical stone base, three fountains for steam engines, and control wheel, a metal pedestrian bridge of 28m in length running along the axis of the station-master's office, as well as other details connected with the organization of a railway (switch levers, lanterns, stands, stoppers).
Also exhibited is a rolling stock, consisting of seven steam engines and one diesel engine, two draeseners (one foot-and one hand-operated), a manually-operated crane (1890), three first class passenger carriages and five first and second class carriages (1885) and eight freight cars of various types (1885-1947). The railway carriages were arranged so as to provide, not only a lively and vivid educational enviroment, but also to house certain municipal functions and activities organized by various institutions of the town.
