Lokomotive Museum

The town of Toijala lies south of Tampere on the main railway line linking the city with Helsinki. The locomotive museum is located in a roundhouse of the 1870s. Its collection of about 20 locomotives consists primarily of early diesels, although there are three steam locomotives, the largest of them a 2-8-0, some of which can be operated. There is also a fireless steam locomotives and various carriages and other items of railway equipment. The exhibition area principally illustrates the operation of the line between Toijala and Turku.
