Children's Railway Sakhalin, railway line in Russia
The Children's Railway Sakhalin is a small train line located in Gagarin Park in South Sakhalin, designed specifically for young visitors and students. The short route runs through the park where passengers can see trees and vegetation, and children have the chance to help operate small train models under adult supervision.
The railway opened in 1954 as a small train line and became an important place for local families and schools. Over the decades, it served as a space where children could learn about trains and railway operations firsthand.
The railway operates mainly during the warmer months and is supervised by trained staff who ensure the safety of all children. The station has basic facilities including a ticket office, seating areas for parents, and playgrounds nearby.
The railway originally operated with a real steam engine, giving children the chance to see and learn from authentic locomotive technology up close. Old photographs from its early years document how trains moved slowly through the park, creating memories that locals still cherish today.
