The Museum of the Moscow Railway originally displayed only the funeral train of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924) but was re-displayed with many new exhibits and a wider remit in 2011-12. It stands next to the Paveletskaya railway terminus.
The museum was formally the Museum of Lenin?s funeral train. It still houses exhibits relating to Vladimir Lenin's Funeral train including the 4-6-0 steam locomotive U-127 (Russian Y-127) and Lenin?s funeral van No 1691. It now also houses many artifacts concerning the Moscow Railway and the history of Russian Railways from the beginnings of the railways in Russia to the present day. The collection includes models, displays, documents, photographs, uniforms and items of railway equipment.
What was once merely a display of Lenin's funeral train is now the Museum of the Moscow Railway and is open Wednesday to Sunday 10.00am to 19.00pm. Closed Monday and Tuesday. The link above has links to other steam attractions in and around Moscow reported by Harvey Smith.
