Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Basque Railway Museum

The museum is situated in the old Urola railway station, a line which connected Zumaia and Zumárraga. The Basque Railway Museum has one of the best railway collections in Europe, with vehicles of all types: steam locomotives, diesel and electric; automotive and different kinds of cars.

In addition, the museum offers one of the most complete sets of machine tools in Euskadi, through the old garage Urola Railroad. This installation is preserved as it was inaugurated in 1925, with an old electric motor that drives its 16 machines through a complex system of pulleys, belts and muddy. Nowadays, the old train does no longer operate its service. However, the train travel between Azpeitia and Lasao is an important tourist attraction.

The amazing facilities of the old electrical transformer plant with its original equipment rectification, mercury vapor, reflect the most modern technology of a century ago.

On the first floor of the central building of the old station at Azpeitia, there is an exceptional sample of the uniforms used in the railroads since the late nineteenth century to the AVE. On the second floor we find a great collection of railway clocks . Nowadays, the train museum is operated by Eusko Tren, which is a public company responsible for train transport, under control of the Basque government. This line is no longer operated as a service. However, a train journey between Azpeitia and nearby Lasao is still in operation as a tourist attraction.
