Latvian Railway Museum

Retrace the tracks of rail history in Latvia in this museum run by Latvian Railways (Latvijas dzelzceļš). Inside the brick hangar you'll find old photographs, antiquated machines and a few specimens of old wagons. Outside you view the largest collection of rolling stock in the Baltics which includes a restored Soviet diesel and electric locomotives built in Ukraine and Russia as well as a German locomotive built in 1942 that no doubt became a spoil of war. Don’t miss the Tsarist era prison car.
