The Railway Museum in Utrecht illustrates the history of the railways. The museum is located in the former Maliebaan station and offers an extensive collection of trains and other railway history. The museum takes visitors on a journey through time, from the early days of the railway industry to the modern trains of today . The museum has a large collection of steam locomotives, including a number of impressive examples such as the famous 'Oude-Lijn' steam locomotive from 1865. There are also various electric and diesel trains to admire. One of the highlights of the museum is the 'Steel Monsters' exhibition, where visitors can see how the train has evolved over time. The museum also has a number of interactive exhibits, including a simulator where visitors can experience the experience of driving a train. The Maliebaan station itself is also a beautiful building with an interesting history. The station was built in 1874 and was one of the largest and most modern stations in the Netherlands at the time. It was the departure point of the Orient Express and has welcomed many famous travelers over the years, including Queen Wilhelmina. In addition to the permanent collection, the Railway Museum also offers regularly changing exhibitions and events. For example, every year in December there is the popular event 'Winter Station', where the museum is transformed into a winter wonderland with Christmas trees, ice rinks and countless other winter activities. |
