Basque Railway Museum, Railway museum in Azpeitia, Spain
The Basque Railway Museum occupies a former railway station with tracks and pavilions displaying numerous trains and railway equipment. The collection includes different types of locomotives, passenger cars, and technical equipment from various periods of rail history.
The museum was established in 1992 and opened to the public in 1994 to preserve the region's railway history. It documents how rail transport developed in this area through its collection of historic vehicles.
The museum displays an extensive collection of railway clocks that reflect the importance of precision in train operations. These objects tell the story of how carefully every detail of rail service was managed in the past.
The museum is open year-round, with the best time to visit between April and November when steam train rides operate on weekends. The journey runs between Azpeitia and Lasao and gives visitors a chance to experience historic equipment in action.
The site preserves one of the few remaining operational workshops from the early 1900s where railway vehicles are still maintained and repaired. Visitors can see this original facility and learn how train maintenance was actually done in that era.
