Tashkent Museum of Railway Techniques
Temir yoʻl texnikasi muzeyi
An open-air railway museum beside the North Station, with dozens of steam and diesel locomotives, loved by families and train enthusiasts.
The Tashkent Museum of Railway Techniques opened in 1989 near Tashkent Railway Station (North Station). It is a large open-air display of about 100 locomotives and railcars that served on Central Asian railways from the late 19th century through the Soviet period. The collection includes P36 and SO steam locomotives, diesel and electric locomotives, rail cranes, and inspection vehicles, and many of them can be climbed for photos in the cab. An indoor hall covers the history of railway construction in Central Asia and its signaling equipment. The outdoor area has no shade and is very hot at midday in summer, so go in the morning. Admission is very cheap (confirm on site), and the museum is closed on Mondays. It is a 5-minute walk from Toshkent metro station and can be combined with the Holy Assumption Cathedral.
