Gorky Child Railway, Children's railway in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The railway features narrow gauge tracks extending through park areas, with multiple stations and educational facilities for young train operators.
Established on November 8, 1939, this railway emerged as part of a national initiative to introduce children to transportation engineering and operations.
Young participants learn railway operations, signals, and safety procedures while operating real trains under professional supervision throughout scheduled seasons.
The railway complex includes training facilities, mechanical workshops, and educational spaces where children aged 10 to 15 receive instruction in railway operations.
