متحف السكة الحديد

متحف السكة الحديد, Railway museum in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

Description

The Railway Museum in Medina houses original train cars, locomotives, and personal belongings from the early railway era. The collection documents technical developments and shows how people once traveled and worked.

History

The railway arrived in the region in the early 1900s and connected previously isolated communities for the first time. This transport revolutionized trade and travel and is preserved in the museum as a major turning point.

Culture

The exhibition shows how the railway changed daily life and connections between communities. You see old tickets, uniforms, and tools that railway workers once used.

Practical

The museum is open on most days, but check the hours beforehand as they can change seasonally. Guided tours are available, so plan enough time to explore the exhibits thoroughly.

Did you know?

Many visitors overlook the detailed signal devices and measuring instruments that show how the historical railway line operated. These technical objects reveal the precision and complexity required for safe train operation.
