Tsentr Spadshchyny Vyhodsʹkoyi Vuzʹkokoliyky
About This Museum
The story of this place begins with the industrial timber trade, where this narrow-gauge railway was once the region's economic lifeline, hauling logs from the Carpathian forests. Today, its memory is kept alive in a charming museum that feels more like a community passion project than a formal institution. You'll find yourself surrounded by the ghosts of steam and steel, with the main attraction being a beautifully preserved locomotive that seems ready to chug back into the mountains. It’s a quiet, thoughtful spot that deeply honors the engineers and workers who kept these tracks running.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly the restored L-2081 steam locomotive, a soot-stained beast you can almost hear breathing. Inside, glass cases display fragile tickets, heavy metal tools, and black-and-white photos of crews standing proudly by their trains. Don't miss the detailed scale model of the entire Vyhoda railway network, showing just how these slender tracks once stitched the landscape together.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Danyla Halytskoho Street in Vyhoda—look for the old train cars out front. The staff are often retired railwaymen themselves, full of incredible stories if you have a moment to chat. It's a small place, so an hour is plenty to soak it all in.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a simple, unassuming building that likely served a practical purpose for the original railway, its unpretentious character perfectly matches the gritty, working-class history it preserves.
