Railway history vividly presented ...
Following the popular Dresden steam locomotive festivals, the tradition of big railway events in the Old Town Dresden was revived for the first time in form of a Germany-wide steam locomotive meeting. Also in the years to come, a big steam locomotive festival will be organised at the beginning of April in cooperation with the Dresden Transport Museum, which has its depot in the Old Town Dresden, too. And on the Museum Days, which take place on a regular basis from April to September or during special events, the locomotive depot is worth visiting. Especially the express steam locomotives remind one of the heyday of steam railway operation in the Dresden railway hub.
