Malaya October Railway, railway line in Russia
Malaya October Railway is a narrow-gauge railway for children in Russia where young passengers can enjoy short train rides. The line was designed specifically for families and offers an authentic rail experience at a smaller scale.
The railway was created as part of Soviet efforts to familiarize children with railroad technology. It was named after the October Revolution, a pivotal event in Russian history.
The visit works best when you wear comfortable clothes and expect short rides suited to young passengers. The setting is family-friendly with plenty of space to move around and easy access to the platforms.
Many visitors do not realize that the trains are partly operated by children who are supervised by experienced drivers. This makes the ride an interactive experience where young guests directly engage with railway technology.
