Estacion De Tren Sierra De La Ventana, Railway museum in Sierra de la Ventana, Argentina
Estacion De Tren Sierra De La Ventana is a railway museum housed in a station building with English architectural features made of pine wood and iron elements. The collection includes telegraph equipment, lamps, safes, rails, and other railway parts spread throughout the rooms.
The line was built in 1903 and connected Buenos Aires with southern regions as a key transport link. Operations ended in 2016, after which the building was converted into a museum.
The station is named after the nearby mountain range and displays items that railway workers used daily. You see old telephones, clocks, and tools that bring to life how people worked here.
The building is easily reached on foot, and the exhibits are laid out clearly across several rooms. Plan for about one to two hours to view the collection at a relaxed pace.
The museum preserves a ferrocleta, a specially modified bicycle that could travel on railway tracks. This unusual transport method shows the practical solutions that local railway workers developed.
