Egyptian Railway Museum, Railway museum at Ramses Station, Cairo, Egypt.
The Egyptian Railway Museum exhibits more than 700 train models, historical locomotives, carriages, and equipment illustrating the evolution of rail transportation in Egypt.
Established in 1932 during King Fouad I reign, the museum opened in 1933 to coincide with the International Railway Conference held in Cairo.
The two-story museum building, designed by British architect Edwin Patsy in 1854, represents a combination of Islamic architecture and industrial engineering elements.
The museum contains multiple sections dedicated to maps, bridges, rare documents, and signal devices, with a library focusing on Egyptian railway history.
The collection includes the original locomotive constructed for Empress Eugénie during the Suez Canal inauguration and the first Cairo-Alexandria railway contract from 1851.
