The Museum Train started its ride in 1986. It rides on a part of a historical ''Transalpina Railway'', which was inaugurated on July 19th 1906 in order to complete the railway that linked Vienna and Central Europe with the Adriatic regions of Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially with the strategic port at Trieste. During the First World War, it carried the majority of Austrian military supplies to the Isonzo Front.

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. All technical support and maintenance for museum trains is carried out by mechanist s from [[Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice]].

The museum's permanent collection is enriched by thematic documentary and artistic exhibitions that deal with railway history or motifs. Recently the exhibition of old postcards depicting the famous Borovnica railway viaduct (ruined in the WWII) was prepared in collaboration with the Borovnica Historical Society.
Ride includes conductors with old customs in old costumes, railway guards and friendly service personnel who take care of the drinks and food on the way.

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 street and also acquired new premises for a depository, workshop and exhibition area.

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. Thematic temporary exhibitions are held on the upper floor. In addition Railway Museum also offers rides with Museum Train.


Museum's development

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 incorporated 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.

Temporary exhibitions

The museum's permanent collection is enriched by thematic documentary and artistic exhibitions that deal with railway history or motifs. Recently the exhibition of old postcards depicting the famous Borovnica railway viaduct (ruined in the WWII) was prepared in collaboration with the Borovnica Historical Society.
