Museo Ferroviario di Trieste Campo Marzio
The Trieste Railway Museum ( Museo ferroviario di Trieste Campo Marzio ) is housed in the former state train station Stazione di Trieste Campo Marzio (until 1923 Trieste - St. Andrä ).
Geographical location
The museum is located directly at the port of Trieste in the historic entrance building of the Trieste Campo Marzio train station .
building
The station building was designed by the architect Robert Seelig and was built between 1901 and 1906 by the Imperial and Royal State Railways . The architecturally valuable building was the end of the so-called Transalpina .
history
Trains running the Tauernbahn , Pyhrnbahn , Wocheinerbahn and the Karstbahn from Jesenice via Görz ( N. Gorica ) ended and began here . The importance of the railway increased continuously from its completion in 1906, but sank with the erection of the Iron Curtain in 1945. In 1959 the scheduled train service to the station was stopped.
On March 8, 1984, the railway museum was set up in the premises of the station (former waiting rooms and station hall) . The museum is operated by the private association Associazione Dopolavoro Ferroviario di Trieste , which works with volunteers and a minimal budget.
collection
Photographs and plans from all epochs of the eventful railway history of Trieste and Italy are exhibited, including a collection of uniforms and mementos from the early days of the Trieste – Opicina railway , the Wocheinerbahn and the Parenzaner Railway . There is also a specialist library and a collection of models with model railway systems. Other departments are dedicated to signals and other safety equipment as well as traction power supply . In the foyer in Via Giulio Caesare there are always changing exhibitions .
In the outdoor area, locomotives, passenger and freight cars as well as rail maintenance vehicles and trams are exhibited on some of the formerly 24 tracks .

The museum has been closed for major renovations since July 18, 2017.
