Shanghai Railway Museum, Railway museum in Jing'an District, China.

The Shanghai Railway Museum occupies a four-story building and displays locomotives, railway cars, and historical artifacts from different periods of rail transportation. The exhibitions present vehicles and objects that trace how the railway system developed over time.

The station opened in 1909 as the Shanghai terminus of the Shanghai–Nanjing Railway, with a British-designed four-story office building as its symbol. Kuomintang founder Song Jiaoren was shot here on 20 March 1913. Japanese forces destroyed the building in 1932 and again in 1937; it was rebuilt after the war and closed in 1987, when a replica of the 1909 station became the museum.

The museum displays how railways shaped life in Shanghai, from early steam locomotives to modern trains. The exhibits show the role that rail connections played in connecting people and bringing change to the city.

The museum's galleries are arranged on multiple levels and can be explored on foot at a comfortable pace. Visiting on quieter days allows more time to view the exhibits without feeling rushed.

Visitors can enter simulator cabins for high-speed trains and other locomotives to experience what it feels like to operate modern rail vehicles. This hands-on element gives a direct sense of the skills and attention required to run these trains.
