Parovozy Rossii
About This Museum
Tucked away near the Nizhny Novgorod railway station, Parovozy Rossii is a heartfelt tribute to the iron horses that built a nation. You don't just look at these machines; you walk among them, feeling the sheer scale and smelling the faint, nostalgic scent of oil and cold metal. It’s an open-air sanctuary where history feels immediate and raw, a world away from the sterile halls of a typical museum. Kids love climbing onto the footplates of retired giants, imagining the thunderous journeys they once made across Russia's vast landscapes.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is often a hulking P36-class locomotive, a classic streamlined passenger engine from the Soviet era. Alongside it, you'll find everything from rugged wartime freight engines to more obscure industrial workhorses, many with their cabs open for exploration.
Visitor Information
It's located just off Klubnaya Ulitsa, making it an easy and rewarding stop if you're arriving or departing by train. The atmosphere is wonderfully informal – you can wander at your own pace without any rush.
Architecture & Building
This isn't a traditional building; the 'architecture' is the rolling stock itself, arranged along old sidings under the open sky.
