Railway Museum, Railway museum in Quinta Normal Park, Santiago, Chile.
The Railway Museum in Quinta Normal Park displays locomotives and passenger cars within a historic building. The exhibits are arranged across two levels and show how train transport evolved in Chile.
The museum was founded in 1984 through collaboration between Santiago Municipality and the Chilean railway company. It preserves machines that were built at the renowned San Bernardo workshop.
The collection shows trains from different periods and reflects how rail transport shaped Chile's development. Visitors can see how these machines influenced the country and what role they played in daily life.
Entry is cheaper for children and free for people with disabilities. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the collection at a comfortable pace.
The collection includes a rare presidential train car and a locomotive from 1909 that was built specifically for the demanding mountain route between Chile and Argentina. This engine demonstrates the engineering effort needed to cross high Andean passes.
