Running is part of the collection

Locomotives, carriages and goods wagons are not just put on display. During the ride, notice the acceleration, braking and shunting, and ask what maintenance operational heritage requires.

Stations full of railway details

Uniforms, lanterns, signals, suitcases and sack trucks place the train within a complete transport operation. Compare how Haaksbergen and Boekelo are fitted out and look for the function of each.

The calendar determines your visit

Operating days vary by month and holiday period. Some events have their own timetable; during the Culi Express the museum may be closed to regular visitors.

Before you go

Check the current timetable and departure point shortly before your visit. For your travel date, use the calendar for the right season.
