First Indian Railway Museum in Eastern India - My Travel Story

Last week I visited rail museum of Howrah ( West Bengal, India). The Indian railway museum is the first in eastern India and this is the India’s second railway museum after The National Rail Museum in New Delhi. This is the best educational museum of Indian rail history.

The rail museum is just 5 minutes walking distance from Howrah railway station. The nearest bus stop is Howrah station bus stop. Howrah rail Museum Kolkata has parking facility and which is around 100 meters away from the museum and opposite the south eastern railway complex.

Opening time is 10 am of the museum. The museum has huge open area and lots of greenery, so after watching the museum you can spend times here with your friends and family.
