Музей Амурского моста, Railway bridge museum in Khabarovsk, Russia.
The Amur Bridge Museum preserves a large steel truss section from the original structure that weighs roughly 1,100 tons and rises to about 30 meters. The complex displays preserved locomotives and a reconstructed station building that copies the appearance of the 1897 railway station.
The bridge was constructed in the early 1900s and marked a turning point in opening up the Russian Far East through railway expansion. The structure drew significant international attention for its technical innovation and was recognized worldwide for this achievement.
The museum celebrates the engineering achievement that connected Russia's Pacific regions by rail. Visitors walking around the preserved steel section can feel the scale of this technical accomplishment and understand its role in opening up the Far East.
The museum sits alongside the current bridge and is easy to reach on foot, with good views of the river and surrounding area. It is best visited on a clear day so you can see the large steel structures and details in full light.
You can actually climb on the preserved steelwork and explore the construction from within, giving you a direct sense of the engineering craftsmanship involved. Some of the displayed locomotives date from the early days of Russian railways and show how this transport technology evolved.
