The exhibition Taking the Train Through Slovenia, co-organised by the "Sava" Slovenian Society and "Logarska Valley" Association in Belgrade, supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Belgrade,
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 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.
