Description
The Railway Museum opened its doors to the public in October 2000.
Inside the station building in the station-master's office there is a map with all Greek railway lines marked on it, railway workers uniforms, railway workmen's tools, personal belongings, technical manuals and details of diesel engines and all old steam engines belonging to the Greek railways. The museum is also home to some of the furnishings from the carriages of the former Greek royal family. In the museum courtyard there is a restaurant carriage from the renowned Orient Express, which is open to visitors.
There are plans to put fifteen old OSE engines on display in front of the museum; these engines are at present undergoing reconstruction work. As from the summer of 2002 young friends of the railway can travel to the museum on the children's train which departs from the new railway station of Thessaloniki.
