Saxon Railway Museum, Railway museum in Hilbersdorf, Germany.
The Saxon Railway Museum occupies a former locomotive depot and displays fifteen steam locomotives of various sizes and designs. The buildings feature large turntables for turning the trains, fueling stations, and maintenance pits for the machines.
The museum was established in 1992 and uses buildings constructed in the early 1900s to run trains. These workshops were long an important part of the industrial infrastructure in this region of Saxony.
The site was built for trains and their operation, and people come today to see and experience the traditions of this work. The annual Heizhausfest brings railway enthusiasts together to watch historical trains run and learn how people lived and worked with these machines.
Access is available from Tuesday to Sunday, giving visitors time to explore the various machines and workshop areas. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the grounds are spacious and require considerable walking.
Some of the locomotives were built in Chemnitz factories, which once produced thousands of these machines for German railways. This connection to local manufacturing ties the museum to the region's industrial past.
