Shenyang Railway Museum, Railway museum in Sujiatun District, Shenyang, China
The Shenyang Railway Museum is a railway museum located in Sujiatun District in Shenyang, China. It displays over 800 locomotives and exhibits across approximately 80,000 square meters, including railway equipment, historical records, photographs, and safety materials.
The first hall opened in 1984 at the Sujiatun locomotive depot with 13 steam locomotives from seven countries. A second indoor site opened in 2003 in Qipanshan Botanical Garden, a third followed in Tiexi Forest Park, and the fourth and current building opened on 18 October 2010 beside the depot.
The museum's name changed with its collection: founded in 1984 as the Shenyang Railway Steam Locomotive Exhibition Hall, it became the Shenyang Steam Locomotive Museum in 2003 and took its present name after the 2010 move. Since 2019 it has held props and footage from the fifth season of the TV show Who's the Murderer, filmed on site.
The museum sits on Shandan Street in the Sujiatun District and covers a large area with many outdoor spaces. Plan for several hours to move through the exhibits and explore the different display areas at a comfortable pace.
The clock sculpture in the forecourt is built from the driving wheels and other parts of a steam locomotive, and its hands are fixed at 10:40 on 1 August 2008, the departure time of the first Beijing–Tianjin intercity train. The museum also keeps props and footage from the fifth season of the television show Who's the Murderer, filmed here in 2019.
