exist. The main building of this museum is the defunct Ambarawa railway station which was built in
1873. The station covers 127,500 m2.
The oldest in this museum is a locomotive made by Hartman Chemnitz. This locomotive, with a
length of 8.58 m and a width of 2.45 m, began its operation in 1891. Using wood as fuel, the steam
locomotive could run 50 km/h – its maximum speed.
