Sawahlunto Rail and Train Museum

The Sawahlunto Rail and Train Museum exhibits vintage locomotives, train cars, and artifacts documenting the development of railway transportation in West Sumatra.

The museum building originated as a railway station in 1894 during Dutch colonial rule and served coal transportation until its conversion to a museum in 2005.

The museum displays reflect the industrial heritage of Sawahlunto through photographs, documents, and objects that showcase the impact of railways on local communities.

Located at Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani, the museum operates daily from 8 AM to 4 PM with an entrance fee of 3,000 rupiah per person.

The facility maintains original railway equipment and infrastructure from the Dutch colonial period, demonstrating early industrial engineering in Indonesian mining regions.
