The museum was opened back in 2000 at the initiative of Nikolay Akulinin, a long-service railroader, who became its first director. Today the museum is named after him.
The exposition showcases coal-fired steam locomotives, electric locomotives made in the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, mainline diesel locomotives, and the first models of high-speed electric trains.
You’ll also find here an armored imperial car from the Tsarist era, an old Moscow subway car, an operating car of a sanitary train, a kitchen car and a car for transporting prisoners.
The railroad machinery hall shows cars for transporting alcohol and liquid iron, snowplows, and lubrication and filling stations.
The museum also exhibits retro cars: motor vehicles, trucks, all-terrain vehicles, tractors and military vehicles.
