The museum offers many opportunities for learning and having fun, including the biggest collection of steam engines in Europe, all in the midst of a wonderful setting, and a collection of 19th century railway installations for maintaining and repairing steam engines (from the former engine sheds of Vilanova i la Geltrú) that includes: the revolving bridge (one of the biggest in Spain), the water deposits used for supplying the engines, and a magnificent turntable of great architectural value. The museum has two main objectives: To conserve the country's industrial heritage and to diffuse information on the social and economic impact of the train. This means that it is constantly developing and increasing its exhibits as railways become more modern. The exhibits are complemented by a fantastic multivision documentary: “Catch the train to history” (brought up to date in 1998) which has won several international prizes. This film helps us to get to know the development of the train from the 19th to the 21st century. The permanent and temporary exhibitions include model railways and technical details of railway infrastructure, such as the old signal box from the França Railway Station in Barcelona, historical photography and station objects and tools, such as clocks, railwaymen's caps, point changes... Contents: The largest collection of steam engines in Europe and electric and diesel engines and railway equipment covering the full history of the train. There is an outstanding multivision documentary on the history of the railways, and an excellent section on the 21st century. Vaata videosid:
