An open-air museum, the only one of its kind in Uzbekistan, opened on 4 August 1989 to mark 100 years of the first railways in Central Asia. Locomotives and carriages from every era line up on tracks beneath the trees. It holds 13 steam, 18 diesel and 3 electric locomotives that once hauled trains across Uzbekistan, along with passenger and freight cars, track-maintenance machines, signals, and drivers' tools and uniforms. The oldest engine is the OV no. 1534, nicknamed «the Lamb», built in 1914 with 700 horsepower and a top speed of 55 km/h. Visitors can ride an old train along a track of about 1 km within the grounds. It is open Wednesday to Sunday from 9 am to 6 pm, and tickets are modest, per visitor guides. Children love it, and it sits near Tashkent railway station.
