Estonian Museum Railway in Lavassaare – is the biggest narrow-gauge railway museum in the Baltic States
and one of the biggest in Europe, where there are more than 65 items of rolling
stock exhibited. The first narrow-gauge railway in Estonia was opened on the
5th October 1896 between the towns of Pärnu and Valga. In summertime runs the
museum train and it is possible to organize a picnic in a picnic train.
Lavassaare Railway Museum. The third-largest museum of its kind in whole of
Europe, Estonia's narrow gauge railway museum displays a whole host of
locomotives from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as well as equipment and other
train-related artefacts. Best of all, on Saturdays visitors can ride the
museum's own train, which runs from Lavassaare (see website for schedule). The
museum is only open between June and September, but anyone dropping by the rest
of the year will still get a look at the dozen or so engines in the yard.
Thank you Ella for this pretty card.
