In 2019, I had the opportunity to visit this beautiful museum located in the commune Quinta Normal in Santiago de Chile. This park surprised us!!!, it has an exhibition of approximately 16 old trains, which are in excellent condition, we spent an unforgettable day.

The area of the park is a little more than 2 hectares, with steam locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and national and international railroad infrastructure (many of these trains were brought from England).

El área del parque son poco más de 2 hectáreas, cuenta con locomotoras a vapor, coches de pasajeros, carros de carga e infraestructura ferroviaria nacional e internacional (muchos de estos trenes fueron traídos de Inglaterra).

In some of the trains you can get on and enter the passenger section, making you travel back in time. My oldest son was a fan of trains at the time (he called them "Chu chu") and for him, this museum was very exciting despite his young age, he enjoyed it to the fullest.

En alguno de los trenes puedes subirte e ingresar a la parte de pasajeros, haciéndote viajar en el tiempo. Mi hijo mayor era fanático de los trenes en ese tiempo (él los llamaba “Chu chu”) y para él, este museo fue muy emocionante a pesar de su corta edad, lo disfruto al máximo.

The entrance fee is approximately 1.5 USD per adult; children under 5 years old do not pay, you are not allowed to enter the museum with food, but I recommend you to bring water because the tour lasts about 2 hours. Our visit was not guided, we don't know the reason but there was no guide that day.

La entrada es de aproximadamente 1.5 USD por adulto; Los niños menores de 5 años no pagan, tampoco te permiten ingresar con alimentos al museo, pero sí les recomiendo llevar agua ya que el recorrido dura aproximadamente 2 horas. Nuestra visita no fue guiada, la razón la desconocemos pero no había guía ese día..

The museum is only open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm, on holidays the museum is closed, it is noteworthy that the museum is surrounded by trees, providing plenty of shade in the summer and making the tour more enjoyable.

El museo sólo está abierto los días viernes, sábados y domingos de 10 am a 5 pm, los días feriados el museo se encuentra cerrado, cabe destacar que el museo está rodeado de árboles, brindando bastante sombra en el verano y haciendo el recorrido más agradable.

In addition to this, they also exhibit freight cars, old rails and other railway infrastructure such as the replica of an old train station that operated in an area of Santiago.

Además de esto, también exponen carros de carga, antiguos rieles y otra infraestructura ferroviaria como la réplica de una antigua estación de trenes que funcionó en una zona de Santiago.

If you love trains and travel to Chile I recommend this beautiful place. When leaving the museum you can also visit the Quinta Normal park which has very beautiful green areas.

Si les encantan los trenes y viajan a Chile les recomiendo este bello lugar. Al salir del museo pueden también visitar el parque de Quinta Normal que tiene unas áreas verdes muy bellas.
