Locorama Romanshorn, Railway museum at Romanshorn station, Switzerland
Description
Locorama Romanshorn is a railway museum in a former locomotive depot next to the town's station. The site displays steam-powered machines and railway carriages of various types, as well as a garden with narrow-gauge tracks and hand-powered rail cars outdoors.
History
The depot was built to service and store locomotives from the region and later became the place where historical machines were collected and preserved. Among the displayed equipment are examples from the early 20th century that document how railway technology developed during that era.
Culture
The site tells the story of rail transport through its collection of locomotives and carriages that show how railways shaped the region. Visitors can see how different periods left their own machines and techniques behind.
Practical
The museum lies near the town's station and is easy to reach on foot, with plenty of space to explore the outdoor site. The best time to visit is during drier weather, when the hand-powered rail car rides and garden operation are available.
Did you know?
Visitors can operate the hand-powered rail cars themselves or participate in locomotive simulations, giving the museum an interactive quality not found in many other collections. This opportunity to experience rail operation firsthand sets the site apart from display-only museums.
