Railway Museum Day Steam from Riihimäki (Hyvinkää–Riihimäki asema) 8/13/2017

The Finnish Railway Museum in Hyvinkää hosts its traditional Railway Museum Day on August 13th. This is one of the high points of the Finnish heritage train year, and now you can travel there like last year by steam trains from Riihimäki! If you want to spend a longer time at the museum, you can of course travel one way by normal VR commuter trains. Or expand your museum day experience with a steam train trip from the museum to Riihimäki and back!

The trains consist of 1950s wooden coaching stock pulled by Tk3 "Little Jumbo" 1136 from 1947. In addition to wooden passenger coaches i sthe short conductor coach type F nr. 3525 from 1942.

The train tickets will be sold on board, as well as bracelets that give access to the Museum grounds on this day. The bracelets can also be purchased in advance. It is not possible to travel to Hyvinkää on these trains without a bracelet.

Rautatiemuseopäivänä museo on avoinna klo 10–17. Tapahtuma on osa Suomen itsenäisyyden satavuotisjuhlavuoden ohjelmaa vuonna 2017.

Junassa on rajoitetusti tilaa lastenrattaille konduktöörivaunun rahtiosastossa, suosittelemme kokoon taitettavia malleja. Turvallisuussyistä rattaita ei saa tuoda matkustajaosastoihin, mutta rahtiosastoon pääsee tarvittaessa koko matkan ajan.

In addition the museum's Valtteri train operates from Helsinki (http://heritagetrains.fi/ajo/fde222c0-9e32-5bb8-b3a5-7c9fde4b4f49) and a steam express from Karis/Karjaa: (http://heritagetrains.fi/ajo/15e3bbbc-3c07-5f6e-9315-f6decd9f1748).
