Yaroslavl Children's Railway and a Museum of Unusual Travels

Museums and Exhibitions • Other places

Yaroslavl Children's Railway is fully operated by children who have completed a five-year course of study. Children make up a train schedule, direct the trains and reverse points. The area of their responsibility includes almost six kilometers of railway bed, two stations and three platforms.

The Children's Railway appeared in Yaroslavl on the first anniversary of the Victory, May 9, 1946, on the left bank of the Volga. Its rolling stock comprised two captured locomotives. The railway had to be closed during the construction of the Gorky Reservoir. It was revived in 1970: a train of five cars went between two stations and one platform, and the length of the road was 3.2 kilometers. In 2008, the road became longer by 2.5 kilometers, with the appearance of additional halt platforms and new trains. Today, the Children's Railway is equipped with a mock-up simulator, along which five trains run being operated by children through a computer. The territory of the Children’s Railway also houses a "Museum of Unusual Travels from the XIX to the XXI Centuries", dedicated to the history of development of railways in Yaroslavl and in the northern regions of European Russia. As part of the exhibition, there is an imitation of the driver's cabin here, where you can see a film about the Northern Railway in the 5D format.
