Museu Ferroviário de Indaiatuba, Railway museum in Indaiatuba, Brazil.
The Museu Ferroviario de Indaiatuba occupies a former railway station building from 1911 with indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces. The collection features historic locomotives, railway cars, and other vehicles displayed on tracks and grounds surrounding the property.
The station was built in 1911 and served passenger and cargo transport until its closure in 1990. The building was later converted into a museum to preserve the importance of railways in the region's history.
The museum preserves the railway history of the region and shows how important these trains were to the city's growth. Visitors can explore historical photographs and documents that reflect the lives and work of railway workers.
The museum is easy to visit with good access to both indoor and outdoor exhibits that you can explore without special preparation. Plan for about one to two hours for a comfortable walk through the historic vehicles and station building.
The museum houses the Regina locomotive number 10, manufactured in 1874 in the United States and considered one of the oldest operational American steam engines in South America. This rare machine shows the technological connections between North America and Brazilian industrial history.
