The museum exhibits a unique interactive mockup of the Tsarskoye Selo Railway with which the history of Russian railway transport began in 1837.

The first railway was but 27 km long and connected the capital with the imperial residences in Tsarskoye Selo. Successfully completed construction was the starting point for the development of the domestic economy and culture, allowed to evaluate the benefits of rail travel and aroused public interest in a new type of communication.
