Museo de los Ferrocarrileros

The Museo de los Ferrocarrileros is a museum in Mexico City that displays the history of rail transport in the country. Four exhibition halls contain locomotives, historical photographs, tools, and objects that document how transportation developed over time.

The building started as a train station constructed in 1907 that connected different parts of the city. It was later converted into a museum and opened to visitors in 2006.

The exhibits show how railway workers lived and what their jobs involved, displayed through personal belongings and work documents. You can see how trains changed everyday life for people across Mexico.

The museum is located in an easy-to-reach part of the city and opens Tuesday through Sunday, making it convenient for most visitors. You can arrive easily by public transport and find your way around quickly once inside.

Two complete locomotives sit outside at the entrance, showing visitors what these large trains looked like. This outdoor display gives you a sense of their size and power as soon as you arrive.
