Swedish Railway Museum

Nice museum with interactive elements. I was positively surprised that the museum was heated in the main museum part. The attached museums park was nice even in the winter time.

This is one of biggest train museum in Sweden. There are absolutely a lot to watch. Take a look at my videos and photos. I didn't expect this much things in the railway museum and it ended up with satisfaction. I'm recommending this place to whoever in love with history of railways. At the end there is a game station kids can play train rides. Outside has a small play area. There is a restaurant area at the entrance. You can have lunch buffet or simple meal there. Washrooms are available. As my experience, I have travelled from Luleå to Kullaberg. In this trip this train museum was a biggest exiting place. It has a lot to see than Örebro castle. örebro castle was a waste of time.Highly recommend train museum.

I had been waiting since 2019 for the museum to reopen!nnLoved:n- The chronological ordering of locomotives, and the corresponding social, technical and organizational aspects.n- Concise information boards, videos in Swedish along with English translations.n- The large turntable is worth viewing.n- Scale models for display.nn- Kid-friendlyindoor play area, outdoor park, small train ride.nnCan be improved:n- The shop/butik. It needs much more items ranging from fridge magnets to scale models of SJ locomotives and carriages.n- While they have covered the history and provided a glimpse of futuristic trains, I don't recall seeing a summary of how train traffic looks today2010-2024 in terms of freight, passenger and military services.n- Turntable is action. It is perhaps the largest turntable in Sweden, and the visitors would love seeing an engine being turned by a single person.n- Guided tours in both Swedish and English, even if they decide to charge for the same.n- Add another railbus between 1312 and 1512 hours during the peak season.nnIt is a must-visit for railfans, and also for families willing to get a glimpse of trains of past and future. It is undoubtedly one of the top 10 Swedish museums that I have seen till date.

More interesting bits of history then you might expect. Has the worlds oldest steam locomotive that is restored to running order.nHas a picnic area where you can bring your own food, which is odd for a museum, but neat. Well worth a visit. Also boys of all ages love big machines!

The exhibition itself is nice although it is a little bit small. It would be good if you could check more trains from the inside. The restaurant in the museum is quite expensive.
