All the children are fascinated by trains, so a visit to this museum will be very interesting for them.This museum is located in a vast area, between the railway and the sea, in Pietrarsa, near to Portici, a town in the big suburban area of Naples, and stands on the site of the old Bourbon workshops of the State Railways where locomotives were built. In fact, the first Italian railway was the Naples – Portici line, inaugurated in the 1839, and the locomotive, called “Vesuviana” after the name of the Vulcan, was built in Naples with pieces from England and was able to run at a speed of 60 km/h.In this museum are displayed all kind of locomotives, transported to Pietrarsa from all over the country.
