Asociación Murciana de Amigos del Ferrocarril (AMAF)
About This Museum
Tucked away in the functional spaces of Murcia's main train station, the Asociación Murciana de Amigos del Ferrocarril (AMAF) is a hidden gem powered by pure, unfiltered passion. This isn't a sterile, state-run institution but a living archive lovingly maintained by railway enthusiasts. You can almost smell the oil and hear the echoes of old conversations as you walk past meticulously restored locomotives and carriages. It feels less like a museum and more like stepping into a clubhouse for those who truly love the romance of the rails.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is often 'El Ter', a charming narrow-gauge locomotive that once chugged through the Huerta de Murcia. Alongside it, you'll find an impressive collection of original signage, vintage tickets, and beautifully preserved railway uniforms that tell the story of regional travel. Don't miss the detailed model railway layouts that bring the entire system to life in miniature.
Visitor Information
Finding it is part of the adventure—just look for the dedicated space within the Estación Renfe. The volunteers are the real treasure here; their personal stories and deep knowledge turn a simple visit into an unforgettable journey. It's small, intimate, and perfect for a spontaneous hour-long dive into transport history.
Architecture & Building
Housed directly within the city's main railway station, its home is pure, unpretentious industrial functionality rather than grand architecture.
