The Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice originated in 1981 when the Ljubljana Railway Directorate established a Museum Section to manage the collection of old steam locomotives stored at Parmova ulica 35 and also acquired new premises for a depository, workshop and exhibition area. Collection started to emerge already in sixties in a boiler building on the same address. In 1991 the institution was renamed the Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice, focused on the old roundhouse building with its permanent exhibition of 10 steam locomotives, out of 60 they posses. In 1999 the roundhouse was renovated, and in 2004 a new exhibition building was opened to public nearby, presenting the development of the railway network, the construction and maintenance of railway lines, the development of the railway network, railway uniforms, the traffic control centre, communications, and signalling and safety installations. Railway Museum has still status of intern technological collection of Slovenian Railways company. Future plans envisage the Railway Museum being incorporates into a major National Museum of Transportation (including both rail and road vehicles) which will be implemented under the guidance of the Technical Museum of Slovenia.

The Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice is divided into two sections: a collection of vehicles (steam locomotives, coaches, wagons and other historic rolling stock) and a permanent exhibition relating to various fields of railway history and technology. On addition Railway Museum also offers rides with Museum Trains.

There are many Musem Train destinations around Slovenia, but most frequent Museum Train trip connects Jesenice in Slovenia with the towns of Nova Gorica in Slovenia and Gorizia in Italy through the Julian Alps. Stunning views and distinctive features of the railway are the 6,339 metre-long Bohinj Tunnel under 1,498 meter high Mount Kobla and the Solkan Bridge with its 85 meter wide stone arch high above the Soča River. There are three different types of Museum Trains operating. Two are vintage steam locomotives (25-025 and 33-037) manufactured in first half of 20th century, and one diesel powered back up locomotive. The oldest 25-026 is dragging or pushing 6 old style passenger wagons, which were renovated after original plans they got from Vienna Railway Museum.
