Tour of the Cantabrian Railway Museum: A fascinating journey through the history of railways

Have you ever heard the whisper of history among forgotten rails? Felt the imposing presence of sleeping steam giants, ready to awaken memories of a golden age?

I invite you to take a journey back in time to a secret place in Santander where Cantabria's industrial heart still beats strongly: the Cantabrian Railway Museum.

This is no ordinary museum; it's a sanctuary of iron dreams, forged with the unconditional love of those who dedicate their hours to preserving the soul of the locomotives and the essence of an era when the train was the engine of progress.

Alongside me, an enthusiastic member of the Cantabrian Association of Friends of the Railway (ACAF), you'll discover a unique collection where each piece reveals Cantabria's unwavering connection with the railway.

During our tour, you'll enjoy:

• Captivating stories about railway pioneers, the daily life of railway workers, the train's connection with local industry (mining, iron and steel), and ACAF's efforts to preserve this valuable heritage.
• An imposing steam titan, a symbol of the Cantabrian iron and steel industry: the Peñacastillo Locomotive (1913).
• The largest snowplough in Spain: the Beilhack (1962).
• The ingenious diesel-hydraulic gem that modernized the Cantábrico line: the Naval Tractor (1966).
• An impressive H0 scale model railway (1:87 scale).
• And many more locomotives!
