Novomoskovsk children's railway, railway line in Russia
Novomoskovsk children's railway is a narrow-gauge railway line in the city of Novomoskovsk in Tula region. It runs a short route of about 2 kilometers with three stations called Berezki, Parkovaya, and Istok Dona.
The railway was founded in the mid-1950s when the city was still called Stalinogors. The first train ran in 1953, and the line became an important training center for children in railway operations.
The railway reflects the city's connection to rail transport and engineering traditions. Visitors see well-maintained locomotives and carriages that demonstrate how important railways are to the local community and its identity.
The railway is easiest to reach by car or bus, with free parking near the stations. Trains run on specific days, mainly weekends, and visitors can book rides with guided tours.
Visitors can sometimes sit in the cabin of the TU2-126 diesel locomotive to experience a driver's work up close. This rare experience makes understanding railway technology tangible and personal.
