A broad green area with an old train shed in the center - that's
what the Railway Museum looks like from the outside. Inside, a superb
collection of old locomotives and other historic objects are on
display. The exhibition is a living testament to the past of the Thai
railway enterprise.
Besides
old steam locomotives, there are other vehicles such as London taxis
and World War II Japanese patrol cars, as well as the first tram from
1892, with long passenger benches that run along the entire length of
the tram. Rail carriages and various railway tools like the old fuel
siphon and an early telegraph machine are also shown.
