If you are a fan of vintage railways, you will love these old tin-can, wood-panelled boxcars lingering on old tracks along with 22 wrought-iron, turn-of-the-century engines. Oiled, painted and maintained with loving care, it's no wonder they last. Visitors may climb aboard, pretend to work the brake or open the coal engine port. It's located in the premises of the old Koening Willem I station, which opened in 1873.
The beautifully tiled European passenger terminal at the far end of the museum is worth the long walk. With ornate metal work and old clocks, conductor offices filled with vintage typewriters and ticket windows stocked with telegraph machines, you feel the history here. The museum is a couple of kilometres outside town, just off the road to Magelang.
