RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
In this open-air museum you can see 15 steam locomotives produced in pre-revolutionary Russia, the USSR and abroad, and operated on Soviet railways in the early and mid-20th century. In some locomotives you can climb and take a picture on the driver's seat.
Unfortunately, for a long time the exhibits were completely unattended, which is why they became a haven for the homeless and young people. Now the territory is fenced and guarded, the cars are painted and restored outside, but inside there is ruin and garbage. Therefore, be careful and careful if you climb inside, and especially look after the children.
In general, it can not be said that this place will appeal to every tourist, but men and boys visit the museum with interest. It will take 20-30 minutes to visit, but it is not so easy to take children away from here, because you can climb on locomotives and touch and twist everything.
