Very small but sort of kitschy and fun
Stopping by here adds an attraction to the jaunt out to see the bull ring. There are 5 cars that have been restored to their former “glory” (no locomotive), the depot, a warehouse converted to a conference hall and - for kids of all ages - Thomas the Tank Engine! Old period (jazz) music is played; a nice touch. Nothing spectacular, but for 50 pesos (less than u$s2), what can you lose?

This is a small museum collecting items of the regional railway branch organisation. It is situated in some old carriages and a small office building
