The [[Railway Museum of Slovenia]] originated in [[established::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. In 1991 the institution was renamed the Railway Museum of the Slovene Railways, focused on the old roundhouse building with its permanent exhibition of 10 steam locomotives. 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. 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 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 two types of steam locomotives (25-025 and 33-037) manufactured in the beginning of 20th century still operating. They are dragging 6 old passenger wagons that are renovated after original plans from Vienna Railway Museum. All technical support and maintenance for museum trains is carried out by mechanists from Railway Museum of Slovenia in Ljubljana - Šiška. 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 Slovenia 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. In 1991 the institution was renamed the Railway Museum of the Slovene Railways, focused on the old roundhouse building with its permanent exhibition of 10 steam locomotives. 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. 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 Slovenia 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.
