Museo del Treno - ACAF
About This Museum
People don't just stumble upon the Museo del Treno - ACAF; they make a pilgrimage. Tucked away in Montesilvano, this is a place for those who feel the romantic pull of the rails, where the scent of old oil and metal hangs in the air. It’s a heartfelt collection built by passionate volunteers, telling the story of Italy's railway heritage not through sterile plaques, but through the very machines that made it. You come here to stand beside giants of steam and diesel, to hear their silent stories, and leave with a sooty smudge of history on your imagination.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is often a beautifully restored steam locomotive, its massive driving wheels and intricate piping a testament to industrial artistry. Alongside it, you might find a classic 'Littorina' railcar or an elegant passenger carriage where you can almost picture well-dressed travelers from a bygone era.
