Railroad museum opens in Brest

 The Brest subsidiary of Belarusian Railroads (BR) opened a railroad museum in Brest on May 15. This is a second railroad museum in the region: the first one opened in the city of Baranovichi three years ago.
The museum is located on Masherova Avenue, Brest's thoroughfare, hundreds of meters away from the memorial "Brest Hero Fortress."
Currently on display are about 50 rare machines -- steam engines built before and after World War II, a German-made locomotive left from the war, railway cranes, and train cars. All the items exhibited are in operational condition. Arkady Priveten, director of the museum, collected the locomotives for the last ten years of his service as chief
of the Brest railway depot.
