Railway Museum "Ing. Pedro C. Saccaggio", Railway museum in La Plata, Argentina

The Railway Museum Ing. Pedro C. Saccaggio in La Plata preserves locomotives, passenger cars, and railway equipment spanning different periods of Argentine transportation history. These vehicles are displayed on a central site that traces the technical development of rail transport across several decades.

The railway workshops housing the museum were designed by engineer Otto Krause and inaugurated on 30 August 1887. When the workshops moved to Liniers in the early 20th century, the buildings stood abandoned for nearly 40 years. In October 1997 the old blacksmith shop was recovered for the Tolosa branch of the Ferroclub Argentino, created on 1 May 1996. A community gathering on 6 October 2002, "Tolosa y su Identidad", is considered the museum's founding, and in early 2004 it took the name of engineer Pedro C. Saccaggio.

The railway vehicles on display reflect how trains once shaped daily life and commerce across Argentina, with their impact still visible in how the city is organized. These machines represent a period when rail transport was essential to connecting distant communities.

The museum occupies a 250 m² shed, 12 by 21 metres, crossed by a double-gauge track, with a concrete floor and its original tiled roof. It can be entered from inside the Ferroclub or independently from the Tolosa shunting yard. The planned layout provides circulation through both entrances and a system of signboards.
