The museum of railway engineering has samples of railway engineering, from the oldest to the modern, as well as various themed exhibits.
There are 18 diesel locomotives, 3 electric locomotives, and 13 historic locomotives, as well as different models and types of complex cars.
The oldest is the locomotive OB ("Lamb") (1914). Its power has reached 1534 hp, and he had 700 hp. One of the most powerful is the P-36 ("Victory"), with 3000 hp.
In the museum of railway engineering, in the center of the territory, is located a wagon (1934), which houses the Museum of the History of the Uzbek Railway. Inside the car, visitors can see a large number of maps, samples of communication, and models of artifacts.
Here you can see the very first telegraph Morse code and know how it works.
There is also an electric token system, the DS Tracker. A special device makes trains move.
However, the oldest object in the Museum of the History of the Uzbek Railway is a kerosene lantern. It dates back more than 100 years.
There are various systems, lights and many other items for railway workers.
Today, the museum of railway engineering has a working railway where excursion train rides depart from.
