Železniční muzeum Výtopna Jaroměř, Railway museum in Jaroměř, Czech Republic

Železniční muzeum Výtopna Jaroměř is a railway museum housed in a former steam depot with locomotives, carriages, and railway artifacts from different eras. The site shows how this place operated as a workshop and depot for many decades.

The roundhouse was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries for the Pardubice–Liberec railway and ended regular steam operation in 1981. A railway museum has occupied the site since 1995, run by volunteers of a non-profit association. It holds 23 exhibits, among them the 1873 locomotive 411.019 "Conrad Vorlauf", one of the oldest preserved in the country.

The museum keeps locomotives from the kkStB and ČSD eras, including the 1873 goods locomotive 411.019 "Conrad Vorlauf", one of the oldest preserved in the country, and the rack locomotive 404.003 from the Tannwalder Zahnradbahn. Several exhibits belong to the National Technical Museum in Prague and occasionally travel to railway exhibitions nearby.

The best time to visit is during warmer months between April and October, when the museum is open daily or on weekends. Visitors should bring appropriate clothing since much time is spent outdoors and pathways cross the railway grounds.

The museum offers rides on authentic steam locomotives where visitors can travel in historic carriages. These journey experiences show what traveling felt like nearly a century ago.
