The idea of creating an open-air museum in Moscow, where railway equipment of different years of production will be represented, has been in the air for decades. And at the specially created for the exposition site at the Moscow-Rizhskaya station, exhibits that clearly demonstrate the development stages of the Russian railway transport were placed. Here you can see “Felix Dzerzhinsky” and “Sergo Ordzhonikidze”, a tank-wagon and a sanitary car, a kitchen car and a car-salon, designed for special persons of pre-revolutionary and Soviet times, a “captured” locomotive and other railway equipment, a lot years worked on the Moscow road and on other highways of the country.
