Asturias Railway Museum, Railway museum near Poniente Beach in Gijón, Spain.

The museum spans over 14,000 square meters across three buildings, including the original 1874 North Train Station and additional railway tracks for display purposes.

The institution opened on October 22, 1998, with Prince Felipe VI of Spain presiding over the ceremony as part of Gijón's municipal museum network.

The collection contains 1,000 artifacts and 140 pieces of rolling stock, presenting the technological evolution of Spanish railway transportation through locomotives and wagons.

The museum offers monthly train markets on its platforms, steam locomotive demonstrations throughout the year, and maintains a documentation center for research purposes.

The facility houses the Sächsische Maschinenfabrik Steam Locomotive Number 1112 from 1881, alongside specialized equipment used in regional mining operations.
