Museo del Ferrocarril de Galicia occupies the former railway station facilities in Monforte de Lemos and displays locomotives, passenger coaches, and technical equipment. The building contains various carriages representing different eras of rail transport, along with mechanical components and operational machinery from past decades.
Founded in 2001, the museum preserves the heritage of rail transport in a building recognized by the European Union as important industrial heritage. The site documents the history of railway infrastructure that once played a vital role in regional connectivity.
The museum displays photographs and documents showing how rail travel shaped the region's connections and daily life. These collections reveal the role trains played in linking communities and enabling movement across Galicia.
Visiting is easier on weekdays when you can come in the morning or evening, giving flexibility for different schedules. Weekend visits start earlier in the day, allowing more time to walk through all the sections at a relaxed pace.
The collection includes one of Spain's largest assemblies of historical passenger coaches, notably an electric locomotive from early high-speed rail development. These vehicles showcase the evolution of train technology and demonstrate how travel experiences changed across the decades.
