The Nairobi Railway Museum

The Nairobi Railway Museum is a railway museum located next to the Nairobi railway station in Nairobi, Kenya. Regarded as one of the most beautiful historical sites in Kenya, the Nairobi Railway Museum was opened in 1971 by East African Railways and Harbours Corporation and has artifacts from the former East African Railways. Kenya Railways operates it.

The Nairobi Railway Museum, which opened in 1971, attempts to preserve the history of railway construction in East Africa by conserving and displaying artifacts and early records from the time. Historic steam locomotives from the heyday of the steam engine will be on display. It was founded to preserve the Meru indigenous people's traditional culture and customs.

The museum's train connection has been maintained. This facilitates the easy movement of museum displays for maintenance and the addition of objects to the collection. Within the main railway works, the three functioning steam locomotives are securely stored undercover. To view them, visitors must make an appointment. They haven't been utilized in a long time. Out of Africa, a 1985 film, used one of the display locomotives, 301 (2301).

A miniature railway was erected in January 2011 to increase activity at the museum. Previously, this miniature train was used to advertise Kenya Railways (KR) at fairs such as the Nairobi Show. It is made up of a locomotive with a gasoline engine and several wooden cars.
